Alum: U-High is school where you can be yourself. There is a place for anyone and everyone. The teachers really care for the students. They will help as much as they can and will sometimes tutor for free. I went to U-High junior year of high school and felt like I fit right in. I made a lot of friends and good relationships. Everyone there is welcoming and kind. The coaches are also great. I played football and soccer, and I got to know the coaches very well. Overall, U-High is a great school.... Read 88 reviews

Alum: I am an alum of the class of 2021. I attended Episcopal for 7 years. I switched from Episcopal from a highly rated public school. The facilities at Episcopal are unmatched by other high schools both academic and athletic. While the facilities are unbelievable, Episcopal is made special by the of the staff of the students. Everything I experienced at Episcopal was amazing with the exception of the administration. The administration does not think through a lot of decisions and is not respected by the students and a lot of parents because of the incompetence. Other than the current administration tearing down what previous administrations have built alongside a great community of students and alumni, the school is unmatched by any high school in the area and a lot of universities....

Senior: Attending Baton Rouge Magnet High School has allowed me ample opportunity to make a name for myself on a national level in terms of having the necessary resources available to strengthen my academic merit status. Attending a school with students from all over the globe with a mixture of socioeconomic backgrounds, religious beliefs, genders, and ethnicities was an absolute privilege. The diversity displayed at this school has opened my eyes to the beauty cloaked under humanity's differences. The teachers devote their time outside of the designated class period in order to help students master a topic that they have difficulty understanding, and for that, I couldn't be more grateful. Grades 9th-12th have proven the most transformative years of my life thus far and were it not for the unfaltering support system openly given at BRMHS, my high school experience would not have been nearly as impactful nor incredible!...

Senior: Catholic High is a great school, in my experience I played lacrosse and participated in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes club. As a lacrosse player we have gone to state twice and we won state last year. I have had many great experiences at Catholic High School but nothing compares to the attention you get as a student from the teachers and faculty. As a student, the teachers are always eager to help and are supportive of the hardships in your personal and academic journey.... Read 102 reviews

Senior: While some might scoff at the idea of attending an all-girls private high school, St. Joseph's Academy provides students with four years surrounded by an atmosphere of love, community, and school spirit! While the academics are challenging, they are balanced by fun. There is a plethora of clubs to choose from, and simply stepping onto the campus can make you feel uplifted. The administrators and teachers are always there to greet you with a smile, and they love to join in on the school's fun activities too! For example, we have "Fun Days" organized by our school's student council each month. During these days, students can dress up as the theme of the day, and during lunch, students are provided with fun activities and snacks! There are also many amazing programs that are led by dedicated teachers and students that are fueled by a passion for their school. Clubs such as Student Council, Choir, and many more, participate in multiple fun and service-filled activities each month!... Read 414 reviews

Alum: The Dunham School is a great place for young people to be accepted by their peers and thrive in the classroom. The harknesst table method is unmatched for helping kids learn communication skills and building self-esteem. Something I want to see change is how they handle religion. It is a Christian school, but that combined with its academic goals should entail more respect and education about other religions.... Read 97 reviews

Senior: I am currently a senior at Liberty Magnet. My overall experience for the past three years has been very satisfactory. Most of the staff is willing to work with students to achieve whatever goals that student has set for themselves. Whether it be counselors or teachers, the staff connects with the student body beyond just academics. The overall supportive energy from the school is welcoming and I can't wait for my last year!...

Parent: My daughter had been attending this school since she was 2 years old. I've seen how far she had grown in knowledge and structure thanks to the teaching staff. The teachers are very sweet and patient when helping out with different subjects. Not to mention, the website is very resourceful given that it provides information for each grade level segment. Each time I had a question regarding extracurricular activities, events and enrollment, I got a quick response in the clear way possible. My daughter will be graduating from Pre-K in two months and there are not enough words to describe how thankful I am that the overall assessment of this school is excellent! They have every quality that I had been looking for in such a school! This is why I give this one a five-star rating.... Read 149 reviews

Senior: My experience at Zachary High School has been phonomenal. I feel preapared for college. I am confident that I have been exposed to what I need for college. Zachary High has a very diverse setting and a comfortable environment that is conducive to learning. The administration and faculty are working hard to provide quality education to all students. Bring a page if the graduating class of 2020 has been very challenging. Our school district has worked hard to provide us with a traditional graduation. I was pleased with the work that was placed into proving us with as much of s traditional ceremony as possible. Overall, I am grateful to be a proud Bronco!... Read 345 reviews
