Lantrip Elementary School

Dora B. Lantrip Elementary School is a primary school at 100 Telephone Road in the Eastwood community in the East End region of Houston, Texas, United States.[1] The school is within the Houston Independent School District.

The school serves a section of Eastwood.[2][3] The school has the Environmental Science Magnet Program.[4]

History

The school was originally Eastwood Elementary School.[5] Lantrip, which opened in 1916, was designed by architect Maurice J. Sullivan. The school has a Spanish revival theme in the arcaded loggias, patios, and tile roof.[6] The kindergarden classroom features an Ima Hogg fireplace, which was relocated and preserved when the new facility was constructed.[7]

The school was renamed after its first principal, Dora B. Lantrip. A new facility opened in 2007 at the school's location.[5] The new facility designed by Sustaita Architects incorporates sections of the original building.[8] The new building was dedicated on October 24, 2007.[4] HISD had originally planned to completely demolish Lantrip Elementary, but preservationists convinced the district to keep the administration building and the detached, bungalow-style classroom buildings. The district demolished the newer additions and replaced them with new construction.[9]

As part of rezoning for the 2014-2015 school year, some areas in East Downtown previously under the attendance zone of Dodson Elementary School, which closed, were rezoned to Lantrip Elementary.[10]

School uniforms

Students at Lantrip are required to wear school uniforms.[11] The Texas Education Agency specifies that the parents and/or guardians of students zoned to a school with uniforms may apply for a waiver to opt out of the uniform policy so their children do not have to wear the uniforms. Parents must specify "bona fide" reasons, such as religious reasons or philosophical objections.[12]

Feeder patterns

Residents zoned to Lantrip are also zoned to Jackson Middle School and Austin High School.[3][13][14]
