Read what parents are saying about Milam Elementary School
We moved from the metroplex and our child has had no problems adjusting at Milam. The staff have been extremely friendly and the principal is very welcoming. The teachers have higher expectations regarding coursework and responsibilty which was a major difference from our last school. They have encouraged independence with the students and I think this will be a valuable skill for our child going forward.

I love this school for my two girls. We moved here in 2015 and my oldest was going into first grade, we are now in our 4th year here and my oldest is in 4th grade and my youngest is in 2nd. I have nothing but good things to say about Ben Milam. Due to the diverse school population, I think the school makes great strides to make all students feel comfortable and safe. Within the last two years, there has been a new principal and she has been a fantastic addition to the school and its staff. There are a variety of clubs for the kids to join and my girls have taken advantage of all of them! My youngest was having trouble reading and I asked to have her tested for dyslexia and had nothing but support from her teacher, the asst principal as well as other teachers at the school. Both of my girls enjoy school, have a lot of fun in the special classes (PE, Library, Computers and Art). I am happy they have a good educational base as we are moving on to our next base. I would recommend this school.

We are a military family that moved to Wichita Falls 4 years ago when our daughter was in Kindergarten. The teachers at Milam are wonderful and caring people. However, the same can not be said about the Principal and Vice Principal. They do not take bullying serious at all. The Principal seems very out of touch and doesn't seem to care at all and the Vice Principal would rather punish the victims of bullying then help. In fact today on our last day at Milam rather then ending her 4 years on a positive happy note, she made sure to end it on a negative and depressing note. It's beyond disappointing for a 10-year-old to leave a school feeling so rejected.

Ben Milam has gone above and beyond for my Son. We moved to Wichita Falls 2 years ago and his 1st grade teacher always made herself available and his 2nd grade teacher is amazing! The staff genuinely cares about the kids and encourage parent involvement. I'm looking forward to my 5 year old starting kindergarten this fall at Ben Milam.

Ben Milam 2nd Grade Teacher is H O R R I B L E with ALL letters capitalized. Unresponsive, non-communicative, negligent all describe her!
