A small Christian school that embodies the will of Jesus in everything; from the morning announcements to the football games, everything at Lamar School is a great environment to learn and grow.

The fact that the school has a higher than average ACT score than our public schools probably has little to do with the teachers at Lamar and more to do with the students and their backgrounds. Some of the teachers could care less and their attitudes are a reflection of this. The administration is fully aware of these problematic teachers, but they refuse to deal with them. Lamar truly needs new administrators and a new Board.

I enjoy attending Lamar School because of the small family atmosphere that encourages high academic standards.

Do not send your child here. The adults are bully’s. They violate contracts and don’t care. They only care about a student if their parents are in the popular circle of adults. The only reason they are college prep is because students have to teach themselves.

I attended Lamar from K-12, and now my daughter is in pre-k. I cannot stress how much she has learned in just a short time, and how wonderful the faculty has been. Best decision ever.
