Everyone who has graduated from Lamar High School is a professional in the career world: Physicians- MDs- Lawyers etc. I did not go to school there but the people that I know who graduated from there are earning 6 figures & up. The area is nice - near everything. If I went to a public school, I’d definitely choose Lamar High School.

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.

(I was a student at this school)This school was fun and their teaching is very good,and they had a lot of fun activites, and a lot of them included the childs family, but the students are racist and the teachers dont seem to care they dont really do anything about the racist comments or bulling, also they did not treat my brother well,and labled him as "Artistic" but as soon as he went to another school he was acing all his classes and getting honor roll,so overall i would say this school is okay.
