(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - We have lived in Lawton for almost 4 years and my kids have gone to what most people think are the two best elementary schools in Lawton, Whittier and Hugh Bish. I do have to say Whittier is the better of the two schools. The principal and all the staff are genuinely concerned with how are kids are learning and are always willing to do the extra things to ensure my kids are getting the best education possible.
