I have always rated Lillian elementary school high until they kick my granddaughter out becuz her mom moved but Dad still lived in lillian. Why moved a child who is struggling becuz she has a speech delay. She only knows that school and has lots of friends there. She has been sick a'lot since starting school but that is normal for kids just starting school. I will never understand why they are doing what they are doing.
