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.

I've been here all four years of highschool and the only good part about NL is the fine arts departments and the teachers in said departments, the faculty and staff aren't in this for the kids at all and we aren't college ready

There are tons of pros, we have a crime stoppers organization, FFA, NHS, student council, an amazing band program. Talented art and choir. My experience has been great the last 4 years. I wish there were more financial and tax classes.

I went to North Lamar High School for 4 years and overall, they have amazing Fine Arts, English and History programs. Math, however, is by far one of the most lacking departments here. It's very hard to excel in this subject due to the low ability of freedom for tutoring. You get ISS for dumb things such as going to a study hall without a note "DURING YOUR STUDY PERIOD." They have somewhat inconsistent administrative guidelines and rules, and there tends to be athletic favoritism.
