This used to be a good school about 5+ years ago but thats changed. Teachers are verbally abusive and the administration is in no way helpful. They do not have a school nurse and only have an academic counselor. The kids have no one to turn or talk to and teacher/administrators will leave you in the dark about everything from behavior to academics.

So far my experience wih Bishop over the last couple years has been great. They are contino usly investing into their property and their students/staff. There are multiple events through out the year that encourages family engagement and fun for the students. My child has developed his knowledge and his character while attending Bishop. He is proud to be a Bulldog and I am happy to have him at Bishop!

This school doesnt effectively deal with bullying their is definitely a bullying problem. They sent a survey home with the kids asking if they had ever been bullied.

They give kids homework on breaks. That is for family.

I had to get on to a teacher a couple yrs. ago concerning my now 11yr. Making it clear she'd have problems if she cross the line with my child. Fast forward to present time. I've seen them yell at Pre-K kids and heard them in hall ways in other classes. They sent my little 5yr. girl home alone when given instructions for parent pickup from school. No meetings to formally apologize. Luckily for that teacher my child was safe.

If developed while going to that school then most likely from parents.

Teacher's are a reflection of leadership. Unfortunately the head of the school validates there behavior with no consequences.

Some teachers are the bully at Bishop. You should not be teaching children if you have no patience. Do the job you signed up for in the manner that's conducive for children to learn. Respecting parents that leaves them in your care showing them their kids are in good hands.

I can't believe what happened
I had heard of things like this occurring at this school. I never believe what I hear, BUT I experienced it first hand.

You can't be professional and agree to disagree. It's their way or the highway. I had a teacher lie on paperwork to my child's doctor to have the child put on ADHD medication.

If your child is African American please be careful!

I have two boys that attend, or have attended Bishop. My oldest just graduated 6th grade from here and my middle son will be in second grade this year. We LOVE this school. Awesome teachers and staff, very clean, and they value education! Our youngest will definitely be attending Pre-K here for the 2016-17 school year. Highly, highly recommend Bishop to everyone!

Love this school! My grandchildren go to Bishop. They have a great staff, teachers, and administration who do their best each day to provide a quality education for each student. Bishop is great in the technology department but of course can always use additional funds to help update with all the changing technology today! I am so grateful for this school!

My son went to this school (preK) . One day I got phone call because his classmate hit my son. And he can not back to class room. Why? He didn't do anything. I don't understand. And next year, we registrar for kindergarten. But, they said We are full so we can't accept. I think they choose students. If got trouble , can't go again. I'm so sad. My son got many friends and he really likes this school.

Whoever says the principal doesn't care must have a child that got in trouble and doesn't want their child to have to accept responsibility. This is the best any of my kids have ever gone to. The principal is completely involved and loves the kids. There is a long waiting list for outside areas to get in this school. The curriculum is above and beyond lps and most teachers at the junior high love having the bishop children because they are above not below standard. So I ask you to look at yourself and the expectations you set for your own child before putting the blame elsewhere. This is an exceptional school. I only wished it went through high school. For wanting nothing more than money this school spends more money on the students and technology for the students and teachers than even more high schools have. I consider it an honor that my kids got to go here.

My grandchildren go to this school. Everyone that works there has their children going to school there. They are prejudiced. The principal does not care, the only thing he cares about is the money the school gets if they have a lot of students. The students there are known for bullying and the school does nothing about it. The teachers and prinicpal are biased how they treat girls different from boys even if the girl does the name calling and hits the boy. I do agree the curriculum is much better than Lawton Public Schools, but I still would not send my children to Bishop.
