    I loved it! Jesuit High School has a very rigorous academic program that was at first challenging to me but, through hard work and mental discipline, I have matured into a intellectually competent man for others. I will always support my alma mater!

    While very strong academically, the environment of this school does not promote creativity or self-expression. Jesuit lacks diversity among its faculty and students. Individuality is rarely embraced and it can be very hard to express yourself. The poll stating that this school contains many "artsy" students is false. Jesuit is a very staunchly conservative school, so it can be hard to find like-minded individuals if you have opposing viewpoints. In many aspects, Jesuit is stuck in the past, that trades student liberties in the name of discipline.
    I liked how the school focused on academics, discipline, and preparing their students for college. Jesuit prepares those enrolled for college better than any other school in the state of Louisiana. The school doesn't produce 30+ national merit semi-finalists each year out of sure luck. However, sometimes the discipline aspect can go too far and lead to exaggerated and unnecessary rules that are enforced unfairly or without good reason. Overall, I'd recommend any parent within the greater New Orleans area to send their son to Jesuit High School.
