1 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Alum: 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.

2 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Senior: Catholic High has nurtured me over the past four years and has helped to develop me into the better man I believe I am today. Coming into Catholic, myself and many others around me were stuck-up, expecting everything from the world and offering nothing in return. The positive community based around the principles of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart and nurtured by staff members and students alike has changed my mindset and made me feel welcome. In addition to the exemplary community, Catholic High has an outstanding education. I am confident that Catholic High will continue to be there for me when I graduate.

Because Catholic High is still a high school full of young students, it has its problem just as every school will. Also due to the high expectations imposed on Catholic High students, some teachers will forget that their students are still young and learning and will react severely to small mistakes and will be critical of students that struggle with making good decisions.

3 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Alum: The brotherhood created through academics, athletics, and extra curricular clubs at St. Paul's lasts a lifetime. I still keep in touch with classmates who have moved across the country for college and their future. The student/falculty relationships are excellent. Lasallian brothers still run and teach at SPS. The day I met Brother Ray (principal at the time) he knew my name and my birthday already! Most sport coaches are also teachers that interact with students on and off the field or court. The campus consists of multiple buildings with beautiful landscaping much like many college campuses. The facilities include a baseball field, a turf soccer/football field and track, basketball gym, wrestling gym, tennis courts, a large pond, and a theater. Since I have graduated, the school has established concentrated college prep courses such as pre-engineering, pre-med, and economics. Those course will definitely give graduating students a head start in their future academic endeavors.

Parent: St. Joseph's Academy has been heaven sent! In a world where more emphasis is put on Fashion and other foolishness, we found a school whose purpose is not tobnb offer an excellent education, but to build string Godly young women, with a servant’s heart. Understanding that serving others has far greater rewards than anything else we can do. My daughter has blossomed and gained a sense of self and purpose in her academic career at SJA that I'm convinced will help her succeed in her collegiate endeavors.

6 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Alum: I loved Dominican and miss it every single day! I made my best friends here and we had great experiences together. The teachers wanted us to succeed and it showed through their personality and work ethic. We valued religion and always stressed to listen and respect people's opinions even when they were different from our own. We valued culture and even had a day to celebrate different cultures from around the world with outfits, singing, and dancing. I had great relationships with my teachers and was able to be myself and feel comfortable asking questions. Teachers were available to answer questions after school and were willing to help as much as they could. I believe Dominican is even better than when I left. They have a brand new building that focuses on the important connection between science and religion. I truly believe that Dominican has shaped me into the young woman I am today and I am extremely grateful for having the opportunity to grow and learn there.

7 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Alum: Overall, I really like Sacred Heart. I like what it stands for. I like the small, Catholic school environment. I went for thirteen years. As a high school student, I have to admit, my life sucked. The administration, which they currently have, is some of the worst people in charge. When you tell the school about your problems, they definitely don't care. They talk down to you and treat you like it is your fault. They don't understand the amount of stress they put on students and they simply do not care about students.

9 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Senior: St. Louis is more of a smaller high school, but it is to its advantage. Being one of the only private, catholic high schools in the Lake Charles area, it stands out among the others. At St. Louis, the environment is very welcoming and friendly. The faculty are one of the most caring I've ever seen. The amount of self-less love they have for their students is amazing. One reason why St. Louis stands out is because we have the opportunity to openly express, practice, and learn our faith. I have had some of the best times of my life at St. Louis!

10 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Parent: We moved to New Orleans in July between my kid’s 10th and 11th grade years; my husband retired from the Army. I contacted De La Salle because we wanted a co-ed and racially, ethnically, and socially diverse school. Mr. Bonura (no longer at DLS), Ms. Atwood, and Mr. Kelly were wonderful. DLS accepted my daughter’s out-of-state classes as well as previous state Standardized Test Scores and assigned classes that fit her academic progression. When my daughter struggled with the Semester Schedule (this mimics college--classes are offered in an 18-week semester instead of across the whole school year), faculty helped her adjust. DLS is not without the usual teenage-related issues; when my daughter was having trouble with other students, the staff and faculty responded quickly and appropriately without me becoming involved. If you are moving to NOLA from out-of-town or out-of-state, I encourage you to consider De La Salle!

Finally, the test prep class has prepared me for the ACT and has allowed me to achieve a 30 on it.

Schools of the Sacred Heart
Private School
Grand Coteau, LA

12 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Parent: This school is unique as it is the only school in Louisiana that can offer single gender education for PK-12 for both boys and girls on the same beautiful campus, and has a boarding school in which our children can make friends and be exposed to cultures around the world. The international exchange program with the many Schools of the Sacred Heart also opens up an opportunity for my children to be able to travel abroad and give them a more global perspective. Besides these unique opportunities, it is hard to put into words the feel of this school. It’s rich, near 200 year history, the pride the boys and girls have in their school and the lifelong bonds they make with their fellow brothers and sisters, and the goals of the Sacred Heart that are deeply instilled in the children and their families, give us all a sense that we are blessed to be a part of this holy place.

14 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Alum: St. Scholastica Academy made me who I am today. I walked right in to high school with an already outgoing personality, but I was immature back then, so being the center of attention was what I strived for. As I got older and started to mature, I realized that I need to change my ways because some people who get zero attention, whether it's from their friends at school, or their families back home, might need it A LOT more than me. By senior year, I've learned to step back and let the light shine on others.
From a faith standpoint, my faith has grown tremendously, from the amazing religion teachers I've had over the years to all the fun and eye-opening class retreats. SSA has really shown me what sisterhood is all about, and I am so grateful for that. I have been so blessed to have gone through high school with the most lit and loyal class ever. I hope that one day, my daughter can experience the same things as me and more.

I have grown extremely close to my class of 90 and virtually know almost all of my school's community! I am extremely grateful for the rigorous curriculum Cabrini has provided me to prepare me well for college. I am also in many clubs such as student council, ambassadors, and NHS which have helped me enhance my leadership skills. Cabrini has given me so much and I could not imagine myself going anywhere else. The teachers are always incredibly helpful when in need of extra assistance and they are always fair.

17 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Senior: I have been at Ursuline New Orleans since I was in first grade and now I am a senior. I have seen many changes through the years with their facilities, leadership positions, and more. When I started at Ursuline there was no softball field, Early Childhood Center, or Wellness Center. What I appreciate most about Ursuline is their history. There isn’t a day that goes by without hearing the words 1727, St. Angela, St. Ursula, and Our Lady of Prompt Succor. The root of Ursuline’s students is “Serviam” which means “I will serve”, another term we hear every day. It teaches us to help others not only in our own community, but everywhere in the world. That is why we send a group of students and faculty to Belize every year to help a family build a home where they can’t afford one. Because Ursuline is a smaller community you form bonds with your teachers that you can’t find anywhere else. In the classroom teachers are open to any questions and want to see you succeed.

Senior: I absolutely loved my experience at Vandebilt and would recommend attending to anyone! I came from a small school about 30 minutes away from Vandebilt, and I knew no one going to the school! The teachers, administrators, and students were the most welcoming group. I truly felt that I belonged! The school is fantastically decorated each summer, which enhances the overall appeal. I joined many clubs and organizations and remained determined in my studies. I loved the use of technology because it deepened the lessons and provided the best tools for everyone's learning ability. The rigor of my classes has certainly prepared me for college. Vandebilt offers anything to help create a fun learning atmosphere and excellent social life for students!

Save the travel time across the river and put your son at Shaw where he'll feel comfortable and safe each day.

Senior: My experience at E. D. White Catholic High School was overall pretty good. Of cours, there would be improvement added. There is a large focus on academics; however, some teachers do not seem to put as much effort into it as others. The clubs and extra curricular activities are definitely my favorite part. They give a great opportunity to meet new people and get involved. Since we are a college prep school, our college readiness is a major focus. Since we are also an ipad using school, it further prepares us for what college will be like. The facilities, such as the bathrooms, could use improvement since they are about 50 years old. Overall, my school is great and is constantly getting better.

Parent: Our Son began his high school career at Sacred Heart. We are not a Catholic family and he had only been in public school prior to entering the 9th grade. We were not sure what to expect. Sacred Heart High School has not only met our expectations, it has exceeded them! The teachers are tough, yet caring. There is quite a bit of individual instruction. They take time to meet with students regularly outside of the classroom. The administration is efficient and quite capable. The small class size has given our son a real sense of community. All of the varsity sports are available to him and his high school experience (as we are entering into his final few semesters before graduation) has been challenging, rewarding and full of wonderful memories. We cannot say enough about this fabulous school.

Parent: Our kids have now been enrolled at Delphi academy for 5 years and we love it. Their approach to teaching is unique in that each child learns at his/her own pace with the aim of full comprehension and application, rather than memorization. The curriculum is diverse and is tailored for the kids to be well rounded and to become independent thinkers. The teachers are excellent and the low teacher/child ratio allows the teachers to truly bond with the children and care about their growth. The atmosphere in the school is relaxed and respectful. Our kids are excited about going to school everyday, they're excited about what they are learning and they have fun. Even at their age they understand and appreciate just how lucky they are to be in such an amazing environment.
