Academics

Challenging Minds, Inspiring Excellence

At North Lamar ISD, we are committed to providing a well-rounded academic experience that meets the diverse needs of every student. Our core classes — English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies — are offered at two levels of rigor to support all learners on their path to success.

Students can choose from Regular Courses or Advanced Courses, which provide an enhanced challenge for those seeking a more rigorous academic experience. Our Advanced Courses are designed to engage high-achieving students, including those identified as Gifted and Talented (GT), with deeper content exploration, critical thinking opportunities, and advanced problem-solving tasks.

With a focus on personalized learning, North Lamar ISD ensures that every student is given the opportunity to reach their full potential. Whether students are mastering core concepts or tackling advanced challenges, our dedicated teachers provide the support, encouragement, and tools they need to achieve academic excellence.

Regular and Advanced Language Arts classes are offered at every grade level at Stone.  Students will learn grammar skills, read an assortment of literature, and compose writing assignments in a variety of formats.  Students visit the Library regularly through their Language Arts classes in order to have access to reading and reference materials.  Reading remediation classes are also offered for students needing extra help in that area, and general Language Arts tutoring is available as well.

Regular and Advanced level Math courses are offered in grades 6, 7, and 8. Algebra I is offered in 8th grade for students meeting course prerequisites.  In addition, the Success Math Lab provides year-long reinforcement of TAKS skills learned in regular Math class by utilizing small-group activities, computer-based lessons, and other proven learning techniques. Additional Math tutoring may be offered as needed during the school year.
