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 best part about my experience were the teachers I admired how they woke up bright and early everyday just to come teach me and other students. They always were in good spirits and were so helpful when I needed it. Something I would like to see change is letting the students have more fun activities to do give them a reason to want to get up everyday to attend school to learn.

My experience at Lamar High was not how I figured my high school would be like. We barely had any activities for students like clubs and pep rallies. I think a good improvement would be to have fun activities that engage the students.

I had a pretty good experience at Lamar high school. The teacher staff really helped me through out my four years of high school. They challenged me and encouraged me everyday to be the best I can be. My favorite thing about my school is that everybody felt equal. We all felt loved and supported. One thing I would change about my school is the size. Even though Lamar is a small town, expanding the school size would probably bring more students from areas close by.
