Lamar School reserves the right to deny admission if unable to meet the needs of the student based on a comprehensive review of the application materials and entrance screener results.
If, after reviewing the application materials and entrance screener results, it is determined that a student needs to repeat a grade/course, this recommendation will be made to the parents of the prospective student.
Due to the lack of specialized programs, students with learning and/or behavioral problems may not be eligible for enrollment at Lamar School.
The Administration reserves the right to determine whether a prospective student and family support the mission of Lamar School. Under special circumstances, the Lamar Administration reserves the right to admit a student “on probation” for academic or behavioral reasons. Each case will be considered on an individual basis. Parents must sign a letter outlining the agreement for admission and terms of probation. Failure to perform at these predetermined levels (academic or behavioral) could result in immediate dismissal.
Pre-Kindergarten applicants must reach the age of four on or before September 1 for the school year they are applying for to be eligible. No entrance testing is required.
Kindergarten applicants must reach the age of five on or before September 1 for the school year they are applying for to be eligible. An entrance screening is required.
