Summary

Lamar Elementary in The Woodlands, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 759 students in grades PK-4 as part of the highly-rated Conroe Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out for its exceptional ability to support a diverse student body, particularly English Language Learners and students in special education.

What truly sets Lamar apart is its remarkable success with specific student groups. In the most recent school year, the school ranked in the 92nd percentile statewide for serving English Language Learners and the 91st percentile for serving special education students—a dramatic improvement that far exceeds nearby schools. Its bilingual program is a clear strength, with 4th graders taking the Spanish STAAR exam achieving a 60% proficiency rate in math, nearly double the district and state averages. This success extends to Hispanic students, who rank in the 90th percentile statewide. However, Lamar is not an elite, top-tier school like David Elementary (98th percentile) or Ride Elementary (90th percentile), which serve far fewer students from low-income families. Instead, Lamar excels at educating a more economically diverse population, with 48.2% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—a middle ground compared to the 9.4% rate at David Elementary and the 71.7% rate at Ford Elementary.

While Lamar’s overall state ranking has been stable in the 80th percentile for a decade, its recent subgroup improvements suggest targeted programs are working. The school’s per-student spending ($9,925) is competitive but not a differentiator, indicating effective resource use. One area for growth is serving Gifted & Talented students (47th percentile) and White students (62nd percentile), which may reflect a focus on bilingual and special education programs. For parents seeking a school that successfully supports a mixed-income, multilingual community, Lamar offers a strong, inclusive option that delivers impressive results for its most vulnerable learners.

The teachers are exceptional at what they do. Every day, my children come home excited about school and looking forward to the next day! Close Quote

My daughter attended Lamar for two years simply because we could not afford another placement. The education is one size fits all and the children are CONSTANTLY reminded about the STAAR tests throughout the year. It is well known that the teachers and PTO have friction with the principal and that the students are frightened of her. Children are not allowed to use the bathroom during lunch and if they do are penalized by losing five minutes of playground time. During our years at Lamar I was a frequent volunteer and cringed at all they yelling from the specialist teachers as well as anyone on duty during lunch. Anything over a murmur and they are chastised and told they must eat in silence. If your child already attends this school you may be surprised about what they have to say once you start asking questions. Close Quote
