    #3 Best School Districts in New Orleans Area

    Junior: St. James Parish Schools are amazing! Most of the teachers are excellent, and strive to bring the best out of their students. SJPS offers a solid opportunity for students, and a high percentage of quality, dedicated staff. There is a massive amount of parent participation and school spirit. There are many different clubs and opportunities for students to express themselves and find their talents. I think the best part of St. James Parish schools is the athletics. There are a variety of students how have excelled not only academically, but athletically. The student athletes of SJPS are making a legacy. The only thing that I believe needs to be changed are some better food choices. I think students would be more open to eating lunch or breakfast, only if we had more food choices. Overall, St. James Parish Schools are absolutely amazing. Although there are a few changes that need to be done, I believe these schools are a success. ...Read 8 Reviews

    #4 Best School Districts in New Orleans Area

    Senior: I have attended St. Tammany Public Schools for the whole of my K-12 Education. I have always been an achieving student, even though I faced adversity as an African American woman. I believe more opportunities should open up for honor students, since the only opportunity in elementary or middle school is the gifted classes. You can be displaced from the gifted class by being one point below the required level. More challenges need to be put upon students. These challenges should evoke a different way of thinking among students. Not only challenge the students, but the teachers as well. School is a sanctuary for many students, so simply feeling like someone belongs can safely change the mindset of an individual. Overall, my experience with STPPS has been good...Read 54 Reviews

    #5 Best School Districts in New Orleans Area

    Sophomore: My experiences in St. Bernard Parish Schools have been awesome. From my time at W. Smith Elementary School to Chalmette High School, I ave been provided with encouragement for teachers and staff, challenging classes, and stimulating opportunities. Just this year, my Health Occupation class visited a local hospital and was granted access to tour the birthing center. I was able to speak with nurses and support staff. This was an awesome ordeal since I aspire to be a neonatal nurse...Read 4 Reviews

  6. Orleans Parish Public Schools

    • School District
    • NEW ORLEANS, LA
    • 27 reviews

    Senior: I have been a student in Orleans Parish schools my whole life and they have helped shape me to be a great student and person. Every school tries to have open communication and even lets the students go to the board meetings. A change I would like to see would be a different generation of teachers, rather than the young teachers. Nothing wrong with them and I understand their longing to teach but as students progress in school, we need tougher teachers that will push and motivate us and I've noticed that a lot with more seasoned teachers...Read 27 Reviews

    • School District
    • HARVEY, LA
    • 70 reviews

    Senior: My overall experience in Jefferson Parish was great. I moved to Louisiana my 8th grade year of school from Missouri and this school district was much better for me. They actually care about their students and try hard to make the right decisions for the students, teachers, and even parents. They give us a chance to be involved and vote for different things we may want to change in the school system. They acknowledge the hardworking students and try to help other students who have the potential to be something great. Overall I'm happy I moved here and I know that my education has been in good hands...Read 70 Reviews

    Riverdale Baptist School

    • Private School
    • UPPER MARLBORO, MD
    • PK, K-12
    • 136 reviews

    Parent: My daughter has attended Riverdale Baptist School since the age of 3. As a aspiring 9th grader we continue to appreciate her Christian base education, dedicated teachers and small classroom sizes. Her Christian base education has helped develop a close relationship with God. Learning and applying the scriptures of the Bible will create a solid citizen in and out of church. Good teachers are the glue that holds the curriculum together. Great teachers get our students excited about learning. I believe this is what we have at RBS, great teachers. All teachers we've encountered at RBS are dedicated and have always done and continue to do what's needed to extract the absolute best out of my scholar. Small classroom numbers is an atmosphere that leads itself to more one on one time from the teacher. We also believe our student is more likely to ask questions in this environment. Thanks RBS for helping us raise a God fearing and productive person...Read 136 Reviews
