Lampasas isn’t the best place to go to school, The only people who say that they like this school is the “popular” kids and it’s because they have it easy. The teachers mainly pay attention to them and let them off with a lot of stuff. 3 of my teachers has targeted me multiple times for things i haven’t done, and as a student who dose their work and pays attention… it’s just sad. I wish i could rate this with 0 stars.

Under very new leadership this school has went downhill fast! The vice principal has only been in her role for four months and seems to have a huge power trip on these poor kids. The principal who is also new to his role after being an assistant principal for sometime seems to be enjoying his power trip as well.
If you come to the school, get ready for your students to experience some discrimination and harsh treatment good luck

I have to say,that there is ALOT of Bullying going on at Lampasas High School!
Some students get punished for something they didn't do,while Bullies roam the halls!There are Teachers there,that do care,while others look the others way or even laugh at this behavior!
Want your Child to "get away with murder" ? Have him play Football and if it's a Girl you are sending,have her become a Cheerleader!
Football and Cheerleading get ALOT of free passes,especially if someone complains about them Bullying another Student!These kids KNOW the reports about them Bullying get swept under the Rug!
Overall,I would recommend this School,but I won't,because of the Bullying issues that are going on!

Mediocre, theyou pass kids that shouldn't pass. Those kids play games all day. The school chooses favorites though it isn't as bad as it was at the middle school here in Lampasas. Let me also remind you we have the education level of Turkey TURKEY. Research it if you don't believe me.

They expect every child to have access to the Internet...but most don't.

They don't. They failed several attempts at the middle school, and so far have failed 3 people's reports. Don't relie on lampasas schools if there are home problems either.

The system picked students off one by one until the students were failing then wouldn't listen to the students when they tried to tell them that the teachers sucked at teaching

Other reviews made by students will be bad. The other students mostly review the social characteristics of the school and therefore cannot be taken into account. They say that if you "don't have the right last name" or if you aren't in sports you are "nothing", and that is true for any school. I can say, however, being one of the "known" students(I guess) that people from different social groups do get along here. Students who leave negative reviews about the social whereabouts of this school I can confidently say are the students who do not put themselves forward and are not involved in school activities. I am a junior taking PAP and AP classes, and the teachers are definitely sufficient in my eyes. I am struggling but that is what you're supposed to do in advanced classes. And yes, the food is putrid, but that is state/nation mandated and can be blamed on Michelle Obama... This school is safe and punishment fair for everyone. Dresscode is strict but you can't expect anything else from old town, republican Texas. This school is 6 years old and is easily accessible by the physically handicapped. The life skills program is great and I love being involved with all of the kids.

This school is not one you want your kids going to. If your not sports, have a popular last name or fit into their mindset of what you have to be like then your nothing. The guidance counselors only help you if they believe you have a chance for a future, Teachers don't care much. I've had several teachers, and I was only there from 10-12 grade, who didn't care and let us do whatever. Don't sent your kids here if you want a bright future for them.

Extremely Unsatisfactory.I have attended this school district for 3 yrs,grades 8-10 and is directly behind many of the reasons why i am dropping out and going to Job Corps to get my GED to get a head start on college.Their only primary concerns are Attendance,their beyond ridiculous dress code(which doesn't apply to people in sports/cheerleading) and sports(the sports teams here are a joke and win about a quarter or a third of all of their games).Everything else is a secondary concern,including grades/education.the food here is mostly sub-par and is expensive,almost all electives are agriculture/or related,only a handful of electives are available outside of agricultural field,most of the teachers are dumb/incompetent and play favorites with certain students(and even cheat for them)there are a few exceptions but rare,the town's general attitude is no different in the school system.they hate LGBT,military,non-protestant christians and ppl of any other religion,anybody who isn't white and conservative,and in general anybody who isn't born and raised locally.I fall under all of the above and had a really difficult time and the odds were always against me.PS i was a quiet loner.DONT GO

Lampasas High School provides a solid, if unspectacular, education. The student body is too diverse socioeconomically to pretend it is an ideal college prep school. That being said, the kids in the top half of their class go on to college and seem to do okay. Teachers, for the most part, care about their students and communicate with parents who are concerned and make the effort. The current principal runs a tight ship and discipline is good if not perfect. Athletics are a mixed bag but overall there are plenty of opportunities for kids to participate. Band, choir, FFA, UIL Speech & Debate as well as an active Key Club service organization are among extracurricular activities. Two of my kids have graduated from LHS and I can honestly say that I felt they were in a safe learning environment and in this day and age that means something.

My child attended Lampasas from 1-12 grades. She then after attended Texas Tech University and struggled with all her core classes. Her adviser said it was due to the poor education she recieved from Lampasas. She was in all AP classes and made all A's and B's. This school will not prepare your child for college. Attendance and State Testing is their main concerns.

Posted: May 22, 2013

This school is absolutely dreadful. I've been attending LHS for two years now and it has been the worst experience of my life thus far. God forbid you aren't a part of the football team or the small sports and athletic department they do offer or you literally amount to nothing. The food is putrid and the school is packed like a sardine can 90% of the time due to all of the nonexistent funding we do receive going to the meat-head football coaches to support our terribly ungifted team. Technology is severely out of date and pretty much inaccessible to students. Lampasas High School honestly only cares about sports and attendance as you get lunch detention if you are late to class more than three times per semester. Attendance is unreasonable and put above any other factors on the 'Important List'. The teachers at the school are apathetic towards the students education and the connect between parent-teacher is virtually nonexistent unless they are old high school buddies or share the same football team. The students are ignorant and the base community is white supremacists only attending simply because it's required. I wouldn't allow my worst enemy to attend this sad school.
