I graduated from here in 2001. When I moved back to Paris, I knew this is the school I wanted my children at. I have 3 there ranging from 8th grade to 1st. I have a great relationship with many of the teachers and administrators and never feel as if I can’t go to them if there is a problem. The arts programs were great when I was there, but have gotten even better since I left. With that band and one act play, both winning state within the last few years. I love our Panther family!
I feel a little unqualified to recommend any changes because I used to attend Rivercrest ISD for most of my life. From being at a small school to a much larger school right before high school made it seem like a glorious new thing. North Lamar in my opinion is honestly not a terrible school or anything. North Lamar is in the middle of the "bible belt" and that is reflected a little bit in the student life. In general, the major change I would appreciate to see is the dress code "violations" being reduced. When I got dress coded for the first time due to the same jeans I wore the week before for a not even two-inch hole, but guys are having their shorts above my hole it is irritating. Also, I would find it uplifting to see maybe "badges" for those who can drive or just seniors so they can leave and get lunch, yet still come in the school to get to class. Although, the problem with that is that the staff has to trust all of the students to do what is best.
The school has been very quickly going downhill, by wasting its money on unnecessary and unimportant assets that do not help the students. The administration makes terrible decisions and pushes away most of their best teachers by overworking them and refusing to help them better their students. The instructors that do stick around though are either fully committed to helping the kids or are just stuck there because no other district will take them. They recently got a bond that went straight to building new facilities that were nice for the athletes, but they yet again ignored their academics and wasted millions of dollars, as they nearly spent the money before they even got the bond approved.
