Fabulous! The teachers genuinely care and treat you like an individual, not just some random student. The principal has made more progressive changes to the school in the last four years then ever before, bringing pride to everyone who attends. The arts programs are wonderful as well. Just bring your own lunch and you’ll have a ball (:
Lusher is by no means a horrible school. I agree that it is the best in Louisiana, but that's not exactly an incredible accomplishment to me. The drug problem at this school is insane. There are freshmen who do cocaine and every single girl I know here smokes weed. Girls snort adderall in the bathrooms. I witnessed this firsthand along with many strange and racist microaggressions. I believe that Lusher needs to quit preaching and cheating the system, and put money into what matters. Their school lunches are disgusting, plain unhealthy. A school whose CEO gets 250k a year should prioritize the physical wellbeing of their students more; and some requirements are obviously ploys for money. The gym uniform costs 80 dollars. The art class is 400 for materials, despite the art students sharing crayola pallets. Lusher can do better and not be so obviously for profit. Their diversity is pathetic compared to other schools in the state, quite obviously picking white students. Do better.
Lusher offers a friendliness in diversity that you can't find elsewhere. The students are encouraged to be themselves while excelling in arts and academics. The staff at Lusher, especially Principal Corbett, are changing the student-teacher dynamic for the better!
