The students are high achievers and push me to excel. There are many opportunities to join clubs and attend organizations. The parents are very involved as it is a small school within a larger school district. The counselors are very active in guiding students. I feel safe and have not witnessed any violence.

There is no other high school that I would want to attend. Lamar Academy will help me achieve attending a top tier University.
