Lamar is an excellent school academically. It has a responsive, caring faculty and staff. Although it is a large high school it feels much more intimate. We have been thrilled with our daughter's academic achievements. She has also enjoyed the dance program, making new friends and is looking forward to cheer next year. Best, Lisa
