This School’s Reviews

3.0 Senior

4/10/2022

As a student at Lamar High school, I think it is really great. This school does good at awarding students for their accomplishments and there are many things to be involved in. Though, I would like to see the focus to be shifted from being heavily on sports to give some more attention and appreciation for other groups or clubs throughout the school.

I love my high school so much! We are a 2A school so we are fairly small which I enjoy. We get more one on one time with teachers and they also work really well with our sports schedule. And if you ever need extra help or want to improve your grade they will work with you no mater what as long as you show the effort. We are also very school spirited and all the sports teams support one another.

She apologized a day later and gave what he needed. This wasn’t the only incident. Other teachers go abo...
