We love Blanton Elementary! Our kids are in the two-way dual language program and it has been impressive seeing them learn Spanish. The teachers and administration care greatly about all the kids and are dedicated to creating a wonderful environment for learning. The school community is very supportive and eager to ensure that our school and students are successful.

Our family has been part of the Lamar Middle School community for just over a month, and I want to acknowledge how much has improved since our initial concerns. The teachers, counselors, and many parents continue to be the highlight of our experience. They are caring, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to students’ learning and well-being.After sharing concerns about safety and bullying, I recently met with an administrator, Mr. Phelps, and counselors, Owens and Sheridan, and I could not have asked for a more compassionate and professional response. They listened carefully, addressed each issue with sincerity, and made clear commitments to supporting my daughter. Their collaboration and follow-through have helped rebuild my confidence that the school is taking these matters seriously.It’s clear that the counseling team and Mr. Phelps are working hard to ensure students feel safe, valued, and supported. I especially appreciate the warmth and respect they brought to our meeting. It reflected the best of what public education can be when respectful communication and empathy are prioritized.While every school can continue improving in areas like consistency and front office communication, our most recent experience shows that Lamar’s staff truly care and are responsive when families raise concerns. We are grateful for their time, professionalism, and commitment to student well-being.
