The best parts of Lamar High School include smaller class sizes and the ability to form relationships with teachers. The worst parts include lack of disciplinary action for delinquent behavior, lack of academic opportunity, lack of guidance for your future, and lack of qualified instructors and administrators. I would like to see all of the worst parts change.

the education is very well rounded. The teachers and faculty members of this school district are very professional, and respectable people. Although the students can be mean, as they are at every school, its still a wonderful environment to send your children.

I was super involved in high school, sports and clubs and all. Teachers are not good, safety is not good either
