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.

Lamar High School was great to me. I was always actively involved in different organizations on the campus. The parent/community was great because we are a small school in a small community so everyone was treated as family. I wish there were more resources available to the students in our community like other schools in our district but I can say that Lamar is slowly coming along when it comes to advancing its resources.

It was fun, The staff is very supportive and wants the best for each and every student. The staff has patience and makes school not only educational, but your happy to go to school because the way the teachers teach makes you want to learn. - Ziona White
