I wish I had started my daughter at Highland Park. Brentwood is a mega school with and principal that is out of touch with the school and does not engage with parents or students. There is not a strong sense of community and the administration is quite rude. Especially the front office workers, with the exception of Neff. The other two basically scowl at you.

Our family has been part of the Lamar Middle School community for just over a month, and I want to acknowledge how much has improved since our initial concerns. The teachers, counselors, and many parents continue to be the highlight of our experience. They are caring, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to students’ learning and well-being.After sharing concerns about safety and bullying, I recently met with an administrator, Mr. Phelps, and counselors, Owens and Sheridan, and I could not have asked for a more compassionate and professional response. They listened carefully, addressed each issue with sincerity, and made clear commitments to supporting my daughter. Their collaboration and follow-through have helped rebuild my confidence that the school is taking these matters seriously.It’s clear that the counseling team and Mr. Phelps are working hard to ensure students feel safe, valued, and supported. I especially appreciate the warmth and respect they brought to our meeting. It reflected the best of what public education can be when respectful communication and empathy are prioritized.While every school can continue improving in areas like consistency and front office communication, our most recent experience shows that Lamar’s staff truly care and are responsive when families raise concerns. We are grateful for their time, professionalism, and commitment to student well-being.
