Lamar Middle

Lamar Middle sits in the heart of Central Austin's Crestview and Brentwood neighborhoods, where tree-lined streets and locally-owned coffee shops make it one of the more sought-after pockets of the city. The school's standout science scores — ranking in the 98th percentile statewide — make it especially appealing to families who want strong STEM foundations before high school, and its across-the-board academics attract parents who are deeply engaged in their kids' education. For families already drawn to the walkable, community-feel of North Central Austin, Lamar is very much part of what makes living in this part of town feel like a smart long-term choice.
