Read what parents are saying about Woodland Hills Elementary SchoolMy children at the school have been treated poorly. I would justify it, thinking the whole COVID-19 was why the school was disorganized.However, the office ladies are rude, and I’m a parent who I know never gave them any trouble; nonetheless, they don't want family engagement.First, when no family engagement is allowed, that throws me off. What are you hiding? Perhaps the way you treat the kids.My complaint is not towards the teachers. My children had mostly great teachers. It’s for the office staff. They seem bitter and impatient.I give a three-star review because I have worked at a different elementary school, because it’s a low-income area, things are not as expected, but a lot has to do with the top.Public schools in Oklahoma are the worst.
Posted by a parent on 12/26/2023Please, don't allow them to treat your children as such. You are EXACTLY on point with your comments! There is power in numbers. I had the same complaints and problems.I took my issues to LPS boardm Unfortunately, it fell on deaf ears. This type of behavior CANNOT BE ALLOW TO CONTINUE! It hurts and damages the children in such a negative way. If you are not part of their click you children will be treated trouble. It's a ashame there is little to NO support for parents. A lot if the shenanigans are covered up not being addressed.I have been told that if teachers/staff complain that they are reprimanded for going against what is RIGHT. If you see something say something. Don't allow them to hurt your mental state. Children should be treated with dignity and respect! Schools have changed so much! It's a politics and favors. The school systems hold children to such high standards when they do wrong, NEVERTHELESS who's holding these GROWN ADULTS accountable for their petty negative actions against students? Unfortunately, there is NO to little standards being set forth for teachers, overseers in higher positions, principals, etc. that are able to change and make a difference for ALL students. Please continue to share and speak out for YOUR CHILD!Let your voice be heard for change!
Posted by a parent on 1/23/2023I feel like I made one complaint about a teacher saying something that really hurt my daughters feelings and ever since then my daughter has been in trouble everyday. It never was like this before.It makes me so sad bc I heard so many good things but they more Im telling my storeThe more people have similar stories about the teachers being very clique. My daughter has a new teacher and says very mean. She cries not wanting to go to school. I never have behavioral problems with my daughter so none of this is adding up. I’m so scared to go to the principal bc I worry that it will only make it worse for my child. I feel at such a loss.
Posted by a parent on 11/15/2022I wish that there were negative stars I could give about this school my family has been at this school for over 20 years and it has seemed to go down hill every year, their lack of leadership and how they care for the kids at this school is appalling, from how they treat bipoc children to how they handle Covid 19, has been the worst experience of our lives, the school system would rather fill a sit then tell people that teacher and or children have Covid, there are some exceptional teachers here, but they are few and far between, it seems the school would rather gossip about the kids/parents then do the job they are intended to do. They care not for the safety of the children and if you say something about anything they will block and delete you from any and all social media or school app just to shut you up. They care more about their popularity with each other then making sure the school is enjoyable for the children, they seem to only favor kid from family they grow with and treat new people coming in like trash. They don’t address any concerns that you have and will even cuss at you on the phone if you have any real problems. I know that this post will probably come with some retaliation because instead of fixing the toxic work environment between parents and staff they would rather take it out on your children. So if you are looking for a school in Lawton please look in to cache school system or Bishop, I have many story’s of racism and favoritism about this school and I hope another family doesn’t have to go through what my family has had to endure for the last couple of years. I hope that one day the school will learn to put their students best interest and learning before anything eles.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWonderful school! Administration and teachers truly understand the importance of making school a fun environment for students to learn so they love coming to school. At the younger levels play is so important to learning academically and socially. So much pressure is put on schools to remove play but the staff here does a wonderful job balancing play and academics so that students learn through play. They get to enjoy the social skills and exercise gained during recess time, lunch and music and PE class. The secretaries are friendly and always helpful. We love Crosby Park.Parent Review5y ago - Edison Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is our 2nd year here and I literally HATE this school. I get anxiety around my kids going to this school. Dismissal is a nightmare. They call on favorites and the rest get to go last. Standing right in front of the teacher dismissing and she will literally avoid asking you. Dismissal time is not even that anymore, it's 5 minutes later because of the "new dismissal". We're getting the consequences for some parents that thought they could take random kids home, from what I was told. I have been to MANY different schools in my life (bare minimum 13). ALL OF THEM are/were way more advanced than these and that was in the 2000s. This school is just horrible. If you can send your children somewhere else, do that. They do not have very much for children to do such as sports. The others that go here are mostly locals (a few from military). The locals are just that, lawtonians.The community is small. The trash around this small city is way worse than most other larger cities. The amount you pay in taxes, both local and state, and the monopolies the utility companies have, makes the cost of living here the same or more than other cities, but the pay is way lower unless you work at Goodyear or the military. They are constantly increasing the water bills and taxes in the city because they can. The people outside of Lawton have to shop in Lawton too. I would suggest driving to Wichita Falls, TX to shop. You pay way less in taxes. Id honestly suggest living in Texas if you can. You can't drive in Lawton without seeing trash, homeless, and cars that are duck-taped or tied together with straps. Stuff to do in lawton? Lol, movie theater, chuck e cheese, the great plains museum, and parks. The best thing here is the mountains and medicine park. My kids HATE this school. They BEG me to not have to go. Then the hospitals here suck! My son had an issue that was time sensitive and SWM didn't have an ultrasound tech and CCMH REFUSED his care. They said the earliest flight to OU Med would take a min. of hours to get to him and no ambulance that could take him! I deff didn't mind taking him myself and thankfully turned out to be nothing but God forbid that happens to someone that truly needs those services promptly because it could turn very bad. The dr in ER even said "this is unacceptable and I can't beleive I am saying this".Parent Review1y ago - Ridgecrest Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy cousin has been coming home every day and we would ask her how her day was and she would say that it was horrible and she says that it’s because this girl in her class bully’s her. (They are in kindergarten by the way)She says that the girl tells her “look over there” and then scribbles all over her paper. My cousin tells us other stuff too. I just hate the fact that’s she’s getting bullied in kindergartenParent Review2y ago - Hugh Bish Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe Principal needs to update the parents about where the child is being moved to from classroom to classroom. The special education IEP program for my son and daughter is definitely not being met but just skating by. They need more resources and classrooms for teachers an atmosphere and environment that’s great for kids to learn things not a place that looks like a prison cell. I had high hopes transferring my kids over to this school but instead it’s just disappointment and depression. Let’s do better for our future leaders of America not whatever this is.Parent Review2mo ago
