School Reviews

Proud to be the parent of a couple of Plain Dealing Lions! Small town, small school but BIG hearts! These teachers and students deserve all the praise. The opportunity my kids have to learn here is amazing, with such a small ratio of students to teachers means more one-on-one time, and no kids slipping through the cracks. Not to mention the wonderful Cheers moment that happens when you walk in the front office and everyone greets you by your first name and knows your child's name and most likely exactly where they are without calling all over an intercom system. Once a lion, always a lion.
