I went to this school for about 9 weeks and i am never going to step another foot on this campus again. The students here dont do their work at all (unless you're in a IB class), and just so that the school can look good they pass everyone with a 70 so the school can have a high passing rate. The school does not care at all for real teaching values. I had half of my teachers cuss at me and it was for no reason at all. I am a person that cares what is being taught to me, but the teachers and faculty at lamar do not care at all. Do not send your kid to this school, please take it from someone that actually went there.

Some of y'all need to stop with those 5 star ratings only because Liza went here. Because if you actually knew this school you wouldn't even bother lmao. Bet you Liza didn't even like this school like that. Lamar you truly have given me some hard times. I can not even begin to explain that. But I have some great memories and I guess I learned things here and there, I won't lie. And there is help to improve in things. Your teachers can help if you really want to improve. But, there are those certain teachers that just don't care. Which sucks. Because if you actually liked a subject, you won't now (your interest for it gets thrown out the window). And then, if you're like me, you start to procrastinate and decide to haul everything at once towards the end of the year. We all know how that turns out.... And then there are those who got put in a certain subject for the first time and they don't even know what they're doing. So, the kids and the teacher are learning at the same time. Like, really? The people there can be 50/50. Meaning, you can meet some of the best people in the world there, but they can also become some of the worst. It just depends. THERE IS A HUGE COMMUNICATION PROBLEM IN THIS SCHOOL! IDC IF PEOPLE SAY IT WAS BECAUSE IT'S A BIG SCHOOL, I HAVE LITERALLY SEEN BIGGER SCHOOLS DO A BETTER JOB AT GETTING A MESSAGE ACROSS TO THEIR KIDS, ESPECIALLY SENIORS!! Ridiculous communication problem, sometimes you won't find out about something until the day it's due. I'm talking assignments and school related business. WHO GIVES HALF THE SENIORS A DUE NOTICE THE DAY BEFORE THE DUE DATE? They did the same thing with the graduation cap and gowns and most of us ended up ordering our stuff late and then we had to pay $30 more for it. RRs are gross, I went to pee and there was water dripping on my head from the second floor rr and I'm pretty sure that wasn't sink water..... The football games are fun though. Homecoming this year was alright. Heights was more lit. Prom was great and cheesy. You just need to find the right people to make this difficult place a little better. And you need to take in deep breaths if you're a senior and graduation is coming up, because you will freak out. And get angry at the people who work there, because they sometimes want to be difficult. There are certain staff there that LIVE TO SEE YOU MAD. IT Department can be rough, but it's okay. Food was gross, it's better to get your own. School is OLDDDDDDD. Classrooms need a few touches, because OMG ew. Dress code there is dumb, but nothing you can do. One of the coaches is annoying. He thinks he runs the joint. If you think about it (if you went here) you really can have a good time here if you want to though. Some of y'all just wanted to be miserable in Lamar 24/7 and that's why y'all in these comments blaming Lamar for your whole entire life. IB kids have a love/hate relationship with the teachers and staff. Idk about regular, but IB is stressing in terms of work load. Because YOU KNOW YOU'RE DOING ALL THOSE NOTES AND PROJECTS AND ESSAYS FOR NOTHING. BECAUSE YOU KNOW BY THE TIME YOU HIT SENIOR YEAR YOU JUST WANT TO GRADUATE AND DON'T CARE ABOUT THE IB DIPLOMA. The IB Exams are a painnnnnn. I was no longer an IBDC thanks to Ms. Ervin. How do you forget to give a kid a third HL class? Thanks alot, because of that I still had to do the same work as DCs and had to take those exams where I was wasting my time. But cool. Anyways, yeah it's a real trip in this school like Seby said. It's hell sometimes, but you can make the best friendships here and have good memories so....better than Bellaire so i'm good.

The school is awful itself. Some of the teachers really don't seem to care about the students. Ms. Gibson thinks she runs and own the school. There's lots of drugs.You'll lose hours of sleep and the amount of stress gain overwhelming.
