Overall, Lamar School has provided me with a safe, christian environment that has prepared me for college and life. I have been blessed with many nurturing friendships through my school. I have grown as a person as I have been pushed academically, mentally, and physically. Lamar has shaped me into the young woman I am today. Although it lacks in some areas, I couldn't have asked for a better school to spend the past 15 or so years of my life at.

I went to a public school prior to moving here, and the difference is outstanding. The education level, class options, opportunities, and fun outside of school. The teachers are amazing and the level of education is higher than my previous school. 10/10 reccomend.

I am a member of the 13 year club which means I have been at Lamar from kindergarten to my senior year. The academics that this school offers is beyond exceptional and has prepared me for college and hopefully dental school. Along with academics they offer a wonderful athletic program which includes football, baseball, basketball, tennis, track and many more. Lamar offers something for everyone.

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.
