We just moved to lawton and my autistic son attends the special needs clads. So far his teacher and the staff there seem nice. Very small compared to where we are from but very nice and accomidating so far.

My children attend Pat Henry Elementary and I am very unhappy. My children have regressed since being there. The building is beautiful but I am unhappy with the principal as well as the lack of effort from some teachers.

Pat Henry has an excellent program. THey have alot of activitieds for the children and parents to get involved in after school. I also love te fact that they have programs that allow the childre to become computer knowledgeable. the library is state of the art and kid friendly. The staff is very friendly and always greet you with a smile. I love the school so much that each year I get an interdistrict transfer for my daughter because we don't live in he school district. My daughter is in the third grade now and i have a 2 year old and I plan on her atending too.
