Lamar Middle School is a public middle school serving students in sixth through eighth grades in the Allandale neighborhood of North Austin. Home to one of Austin Independent School District’s few middle school fine arts academies, Lamar offers students a robust program in a wide range of creative interests including visual arts, dance, band, orchestra, choral music, drama, classical guitar, digital arts and media, as well as the nationally recognized Lamar Jazz Band.
The campus first opened in 1955 and currently educates over 700 students. Academic test performance is perennially above average, and gifted and talented programs, multilingual education, dyslexia services and special education are all offered. The academic curriculum follows the standards of the district, grounded in the implementation of three initiatives: whole child, literacy and the transformative use of technology.
Lamar Scotties compete in a wide variety of athletics including basketball, football, soccer, cross country and even archery. There are several student clubs to choose from including a science club, student council and Dungeons & Dragons. There is even a student literary magazine for budding young poets and authors.
The school’s mission is to provide a caring community with diverse programs that engage all students in meaningful and creative learning opportunities to prepare them for the future. Most Lamar Scotties attend McCallum High School after graduating.

Pretty bad...the bathrooms suck. the teachers are pretty mean. and the sports are not that good. and the fights haven't been that bad this year but last year there where a lot of fights there were 4 girl fights in one week. te only reason I give it 2 stars is that the girls here are h@t and the archery here is pretty good.

What I liked about Lamar is they were really caring to me.. Mr.Luwellyn which is it principal, me and him still see each other matter of fact , he had paid for my food & I would give him discounts at work but to be exact with the question , I grew a lot of relationships with the teachers there ! There CIS program I think it's what is called really helped me a lot and shaped me to the person I am today , they helped me a lot with my problems that I had , my mentor bryan, was a very careful person , he would really listen to me and give me advice that really helped me through a lot.

I have lived in Austin for 16 years now. I have an almost 12 year old and this year is our first year in middle school. I have been amazed by the schools efforts to support the children as they transition from 5th grade to their middle school years. Socially and emotionally the school is on top of t...
