I feel that this school caould use a little more discioline. The students appear to take control of the school. There seems to be so much focus on apperance and not enough on education. My child has been a student at LaMarque high for a little over 2 months and there has been nothing but mess. I have
... Read more recieved more calls about mess in regards to this school than I have all the years of my child's school years. I see students leaving the campus at will and there are too many students there with parents on staff, which causes a conflict when their child is involved in a situation. Read less

My child is a senior at LMHS and is doing wonderful. When my child experienced difficulty with the Taks test , she enrolled in the specific Taks courses and has passed all of her tests and maintained credit requirements at the same time (of her own free will as I had no knowledge of these courses).

I'm a former student of La Marque High [I switched schools], and I have to agree with the majority of the comments. The disciplinary is a joke. I will be honest, I got into a fair amount of trouble, and other schools would've had me suspended; La Marque only assigned ISS [In School Suspension] I think
... Read more this is because there are so many students getting into trouble, and it is too much trouble for the staff to discipline them all. La Marque has two priorites, Football, and drug searches. They do not care about their students, only their precious Football reputation. Luckily, I was also enrolled in ROTC; Master Sergeant Anderson and Gunnery Sergeant Taylor kept me, and most of the cadets, in line. La Marque over all is a joke. Read less

This school used to be one of the greatest in the Galveston region, but now it has gone way down in academics as well as in integrity. I am disappointed, disgusted, and overall saddened by the downfall of this school. I would not send my child to this school nor would I encourage any other person, too,

As a student of this school, I can honestly say it is a relief to finally be leaving. My high school education was a joke. Everyone there is a joke. The few good teachers that are there I was very lucky to have. And now as I graduate, they join me in leaving the school as well. My prediction... slowly

Negate these other reviews, I graduated from LaMarque in 2005 and our class had the highest test scores in the entire county. I currently have a 4.0 GPA at my University and will graduate in 2009. Many of my friends are also doing very well in college, and about 90% of all my class went to college. I'm

I was in the Marine Corps JROTC at LaMarque which is a highly regarded program in the school; it's not just football at LMHS.

I just pulled my kids out of LMHS, 9th and 11th grades, and am going to homeschool now. The program I chose will do a better job. Unacceptable in ratings, but we do have one heck of a football team--the school's priority? It's very sad. There are lots of things wrong with the entire school
