Lyford Elementary School

Seriously, this is a terrible school, so much needs to be done. Terrible learning environment & the lack of compassion for the students. There is no real help for struggling students & UIL is reserved for the teacher's favorites. Kids are not allowed to talk during class or lunch. If they are caught talking during lunch, they get lunch detention. This is a small school & unless your family has money or you have a great athlete for a son/daughter - good luck. Parents are discouraged from attending field trips & there is no parental involvement whatsoever. There is no art, music, drama program. Their main concern is TAKS.
