GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

At Lamar High School, you can expect great attitudes from teachers, a calm learning experience, and a good environment to be in. I have always had good learning experiences at Lamar. Even though it is a calm school, you will never have a dull moment. I would like to see our school get bigger in population in the near future.

Lamar High School is a great place to be in high school. Like every school, it has it's ups and downs. I would say some of the worst parts of the school would be some of the policies that need to be amended that have not been. The best part about it is the overall feel of the school, with a family like feeling it gives you when you are a student there, and the staff will do everything they can to make sure you succeed.
