The schools are getting better every year as we get better administration & faculty in general. Scores are going up. I have had 3 children graduate from LCCHS with honors and all went onto good colleges. The current graduating class is full of many students who have already been accepted to top colleges
... Read more many with academic scholarships. (UGA, GA Tech, Wake Forest, GA Southern the list goes on and on - and that is just this year's graduating class) If your child is doing poorly in this school system you may want to stop blaming every one else and take a look in the mirror. I noticed for years when I went to the Open House & Parent nights there weren't many people there. It is the school's job to offer your child a good quality education it is the parents job to be sure your child takes advantage of it. Read less

This school needs a lot of improvement. things have gotten even worse with the new principal. These teachers can't control their students, but it's not entirely their fault. The disruptive students are sent to administration, the ISS or OSS doesn't do any good. They just come back and disrupt class again.
... Read more Its miserable to try and learn with some teachers, and like one student had stated earlier, we're assigned work that's graded and are expected to learn it ourselves. The students who want to learn are too overwhelmed, and the students who are only there because they have to be just don't even bother with the assignment in the first place. Read less

As a teacher, I can say that we DO care about our students. However, we try to teach our students the importance of following guidelines, as well. Why fight dress code issues? Simple. We don't enjoy seeing underwear (or lack of) or cleavage. If and when parents help us by teaching children to be
... Read more respectful and responsible, we can spend more time in the classroom on academics. We desperately need parents to help us by teaching their kids to take responsibility for their actions rather than simply blaming others. After all, 'I wasn't the only one,' is not an excuse that we want future leaders to use. Before you criticize, volunteer. We have MANY excellent students who excel in the classroom and who demonstrate high moral integrity. Read less

The school is not turning out college ready students. Only 75 students took the SAT last year and did poorly. That was 'the cream of the crop' More emphasis on dress code than what is going on in the classroom. Was in hopes with new administration that it would improve but to date only more dress
... Read more code violations are even more the main focus. The teachers do not use the online program for communication to parents nor with posted assignments. They are in the phase of having to offer school choice but there isn't any counties that will take the students. STUCK with the school. Read less

Teachers don't have control in the class rooms. Children are very rude, have no respect. However the principles are strict on dress code but thats about it. The school isnt very bright and 'clean' most teachers don't teach. But there are however some that do. Very few though

I was in the LC school system for 7 years and i have a harsh review for this system. The teachers don't take enough time to help students learn what they have to learn. They give them assignments in class and just expect them to know how to do it. they need more teachers that actually have a love for

This dress code is a total joke. I hated it and think thats all that the teachers cared about. Now i will say that the pricipal i had at the time was a great one , but like i said they need better teachers. Read less

The staff is either overly strict or lacking in productiveness. The grading and prcedures are all disorganized. I could complain all day. I'd advise you find another school district.

I have the opportunity to make my comments from the perspective of both a parent and a teacher in the lamar county system. My children have flourished in this system. They have attended lamar county schools since day one of kindergarten and are now in the high school. I have always had positive experiences

My questions have always been answered and my children have always been treated as individuals. They are both in honors classes. I attribute this to the well educated teachers and to the fact that my husband and I are very active in their education. It is the partnership between parents and educators that helps to form a solid foundation for a child's learning experience. Read less
