Loveless Academic Magnet Program (LAMP) is a magnet high school in Montgomery, Alabama. It has a student body of around 490. LAMP was once housed at Sidney Lanier High School but moved into the former site of Loveless Elementary in 1999. A 9th grade class was added in 2001.

Rankings

In 2008, it was named #18 on U.S. News & World Report's Gold Medal List[2] and #56 in Newsweek's list of the top 1000 high schools in the United States. In 2011, Newsweek ranked LAMP as the number 13 best high school in the United States.[3] In 2013, LAMP was named the #1 high magnet high school in the nation, #1 in the state, and #7 overall by U.S. News & World Report.[4]

LAMP has accrued extensive scholastic acclaim, particularly in its ability to produce National Merit Scholars.

Admission

Acceptance into LAMP is based on academic records indicating demonstrated ability to complete higher-level academic courses and maintain disciplined study and work habits. However, due to Federal mandates, LAMP has changed its acceptance requirements into a lottery-based system.

IB program

In 2014, LAMP was recognized as an International Baccalaureate World School and began its IB program in the fall of that year. May 2016 saw the first IB class graduate with great success inside and outside the classroom. However, the decision was made at the end of July 2017 to not renew the IB program; therefore, the last IB class will graduate in May 2018.

New building

LAMP was originally a part of Sidney Lanier, but as the program grew, it soon moved to a vacated elementary school building, Loveless Elementary. On September 17, 2014, Montgomery Public Schools announced that LAMP would receive a new school site due to technical problems with the Loveless building that officials deemed highly unsafe. MPS said that, until 2016, the students would temporarily be moved into a previously closed school known as Houston Hills, a move that took place during the school year in November 2014. LAMP's site at Houston Hills boasted a custom classroom trailer park, lush recreational field, a variety of free-range domestic fowl, and a two-level parking deck. Due to the inevitable delays in construction the date for the school to move was postponed, but the new site of the school is at the Montgomery Mall's old site, alongside Montgomery's Technology school. The area has been reconstructed as OneCenter.

Athletics

LAMP currently fields 17 competitive athletic teams in 4A competition. These teams consistently compete at the highest levels of the 4A classification. In 2008-2009 Lamp's baseball, soccer and basketball teams went to their respective state tournaments. All won the area championships, but baseball was runner-up in the state and basketball and soccer would be stopped at third in state. From 2012-2015, LAMP's Boys Cross Country Team earned runner-Up in the AHSAA 4A State Championship, in addition to having 11 All-State runners over the same period .In 2016 the LAMP's Boys Cross Country finally won the AHSAA 4A State Championship.

LAMP has had state tournament appearances as of 2007. In 2008-2009, the Tigers baseball team went to the state championship against Hokes Bluff and lost in two games to be the state runners-up. Also in that year, the basketball and soccer teams won the area but were defeated by Dallas County and Altamont respectively, resulting in both placing third in the state. Boys basketball advanced past the area championship in 2017 but lost to Bullock County in the region playoffs.
