This rating tracks APs but not IB tests. Lamar is the world's largest IB school. The IB diploma and career tracks are great options for kids who choose that pathway.

I hate this school so much. I keep trying to find the flaws on the online website but I can't find any. If you want to send your child to this school, I recommend asking students with their point of view. The teachers, administration, and principal are extremely two-faced. I've noticed with parents, my administrators always act like this school is "The right school for your child" when they will choose to not mention the black mold, cockroaches, and rats infesting the walls. My teachers constantly hand out homework like I'm not a person outside of school, often making me dedicate at least 2 hours A DAY. I have enough homework to compare to Carnegie Vanguard High School students. My 6th grade year was really fun but the constant change of lesson planning, tests, and curriculum is overwhelming. They started having scripted lessons...This year, tests are a whopping 50% of your grade, so it's not "Meant to challenge you", it's meant to cry over. The stress for students is so bad, they put a suicide lifeline on the back of the ids Last year, 6th grade was stress free, but 7th grade was mentally destroying. 8th grade is less stress free, but your child still gets hours of work and homework. Also, the materials they provide is solely a Chromebook but they have horrible wear and tear. It is clear that there hasn't been a new Chromebook in ages. One of my friend's Chromebook screen can literally pop out, and some of my classmates have cracks on their screen. The uniforms are horrible. The shirts are thick and itchy, and when I show up to school with a skirt that's 4 inches above the knee and not 3, I get dress coded, and when the petite girls with skinny legs show up to school with a skirt so short I can see their undershorts, they just get a high five from the administrators who dress code everyone else. The people who attend this school throw out racial slurs and offensive curse words like there is nothing wrong, and there are constant fights. The teachers are also more bullies than the students. My 7th grade history teacher has a reputation for being hated, she made a kid cry for not having his binder. Honestly I could go on and on about all the bad things about Lanier, so onto the positive things: absolutely nothing. If you want your child to go here, just let them go to 7th grade at a different school.

Our family has been part of St. George Place Elementary since Kindergarten (2023-2024). We initially chose this school for its focus on discipline, values, and academic rigor.Under the leadership of Mr. MacClish, the school operated with clear organization and visible order from morning arrival through afternoon dismissal. There was consistent academic follow-up, a strong commitment to students, and a positive sense of community.Since the leadership change under Mr. Bui, the experience has declined significantly. Organization has worsened, academic standards have dropped, and there has been high teacher turnover. During the 2025–2026 school year, several classrooms—including my child’s—experienced frequent teacher changes, including early departures, substitute coverage, and reassignment, disrupting learning continuity.Additionally, the number of assistant principals does not appear to reflect improvements in school operations, and resources could be better directed toward teacher stability and academic support. Bathroom cleanliness and maintenance also need improvement, including toilets, soap dispensers, and water fixtures.Front office support has generally been weak, with the exception of Ms. Calzada.In conclusion, based on my personal experience, the overall evaluation of the school would be considered deficient.
