My child has been bullied/harassed most of the year by different boys. Comes home injured, multiple times. Cuts and bruising. Personal property destroyed. Degraded and she cries most days. Hard to get her to want to go into school. I've reported it several times and they don't take my concerns seriously. Then treat me as if I'm the problem for having to go into the school about the situations. No follow-up and kids aren't being properly held accountable. My daughter has gone to teachers for support during situations of abuse and doesn't get it. Forcing me to go into the school to complain. Then they treat me as if I'm the problem and as if I'm going to hurt them or something. No, I'm a upset parent that was forced to go into your school to find out results. Why is my child coming home injured all the time. Why is my child locked up in a gated school and yet she's still not protected. Why can't I check on my kid while she is there? Why is my kid so stressed and sick to her stomach with the thought of going to your school? She's only 7yrs old and this is her first real school year over covid. Are kids even safe in your school? How can patents trust you with their children when you can't even protect them on a daily. This school has even embarrassed my kid in front of many other students. She had a very good donation for her jog a thon to receive a t-shirt and water bottle. Plus she did 25 laps. She even threw up over them telling her to keep running and not given her water till she was done. Yet, she was the only kid who didn't get a t-shirt and water bottle in her class. Embarrassed my kid for no reason. Made her cry for days over it. Then when I reach out by email I get a nasty email back saying we didn't donate anything. Not true!! They even cashed the check. Another reason I had to go into the school. This is an elementary school and you should be support of children growing and figuring the world out. No kid or person deserves thus type of treatment. Then to make me come in to put my foot down over it due to the lack of communication. It's beyond my understanding. I shouldn't have had to go into the school and say this is wrong and try to her answer. My child was hurt badly by another kid there. This would be about the 7th kid that's hurt her for no reason. Broke something special to her at the same time. The school tried to avoid addressing this situation and don't care to figure out who this kid was that hurt her. This is unacceptable!!!

Great school. Students are assessed multiple times per year and parents are informed of what they need to do in order to meet expectations or how to continue to excel. Times are tight for Dallas School district, but Lyle continues to put its' best foot forward.
