Lamar County Elementary School

I have two children in the primary school.One is special needs. I have been very impressed with the special needs program.

Great school! Faculty is always ensuring the children’s safety. This makes me feel secure.

I have only experienced the Elementary and Primary schools in Lamar County, but my experience with both has been great. I love the community involvement they offer, I love the sense of tradition and local familiarity. I grew up in bigger towns & none of the teachers (much less administration), knew students they didn't teach. Not only do most of the staff know both my kids, they know me. I feel my kids are developing a strong foundation, and are safe (I love having the Sheriff department great them every morning). From what I've seen with other kids, the students that struggle are lacking parental involvement. All of the kids I know with active parents, are excellent students.

I think this school is GREAT!! To the parent who said (I am going to copy it) "I do feel that her teacher could do better with teaching her things like writting her name and counting .I know that coloring is good too but it seems to me that there is to much of that and not enough of practicing her writing her name .I feel she should be learning it at school .yet everyday she comes home with a back pack filled with color sheets which i am not saying aren't just as important .But it seems to me that i am being made to Teach her to spell and write her name .I put her in kindergarten to learn these things .Why should she go to school if i am the one teaching her ?" Maybe your daughter does the sheets during free center time like my children do (both in kindergarten also). Do you work with your child at home with her writing and spelling of her name? Yes they should learn at school, but the learning DOES NOT stop when they get home...
