We are thinking seriously about moving from First Colony to Greatwood. We want more interior space / different house configuration (we need a study!) and are interested in LCISD. I would appreciate any advice or feedback on specific subdivisions and which schools serve them. We'll want to stay there for 10+ years (hopefully longer). My children are currently going into grades 2 and 3. One is on the autism spectrum and requires an IEP. Any feedback specific to that type of need is greatly appreciated! FBISD has really ticked me off in that regard. I had to consult with a lawyer and get the district involved to set up a decent IEP. I know it's a widespread problem and this IS Texas, but curious if LCISD might be any better.
I'm not gonna pretend to be an expert between schools and hate to be the be bearer of bad news. My son is on the spectrum and, as we've met folks, we've met a ton of people who have left Lamar because of bad experiences and not that many who have left Fort Bend, Katy or Spring Branch because of their kids' not being met.
Haven't experienced it first hand though... just saying... do your research... I've heard a lot more bad stories than good out of Lamar in that space.
Looks like somebody has had a better experience in Lamar which is good. Part of me thinks it is a TX thing. My son was in Spring Branch the last 2 years. Generally the teachers were good but understaffed and, while we didn't ever have to hire an advocate, that was probably because my wife just did a ton of research, record keeping and preparation for all of those meetings. Texas makes the IEP process and communication so overly difficult and it is really sad when you think about it.
