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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

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.
