LAMAR CISD

At Lamar CISD, our focus is on our students. We’re a Texas Education Agency Recognized School District, with 75 percent of all schools ranked in the agency’s upper academic tiers, with 11 schools ranked Exemplary and 13 more ranked Recognized. Lamar CISD has sixth-grade only campuses (middle schools), which focus on the needs of pre-adolescents, providing an easy transition to secondary schools. Smaller enrollments at Lamar CISD’s secondary schools (high schools are designed for no more than 2,000 students) help students feel secure and provide greater opportunities to assume leadership roles and participate in campus organizations and activities. Career and College Facilitators are at every high school, searching for financial aid for all graduates. All Lamar CISD fourth-grade students take swim lessons at the Lamar CISD Natatorium as part of the PE curriculum. The District provides transportation for the classes, which are held during the regular school day. Project Lead the Way Engineering and Biomedical Science programs offer students hands-on experiences and college-preparatory level classes, labs and creative exercises. The program is nationally-certified on all four high school campuses.
