Parent: My children have been attending Riverdale for the past 7 years and we have been extremely pleased with the level of education our little ones receive. The teachers are knowledgeable and caring, the classes are small, and the administration is responsive. Your child isn’t just a number at Riverdale, they’re family. I would highly suggest this school for anyone looking to place their child at a school that will allow your child to flourish!... Read 147 reviews

Alum: Overall, my experience at E.D.White was wonderful. I had the opportunity to meet many amazing people have changed my life. Teachers cared about not only your grades but you personally. The school spirit is always high, and there is always so many activities going on around campus. There is a club or sport for everyone. One thing I would like to see is more AP classes added to the curriculum. Although they offer honors and AP classes, I feel that there should be as many classes offered as possible. I would also like to see more action taken in the guidance department. Guidance should be more active in helping seniors with their resumes and college application processes. Not all students have the knowledge needed to go through the process alone.... Read 83 reviews

Junior: Central Lafourche High School is full of pride and accomplishments. There are multiple events and organization that are available to its students. The school has many things to be proud of, especially their band. Yet, there are some things that make the school not receive a perfect rating. For instance, there seems to be a lack of recognition and funding for the arts. This appears to be frustrating since the school is known by community for having impressive awards and placements in events and organizations in regards to the arts. Another problem would be the safety for students. There is racial tension that can be noticed among students and your occasional fights. There are also rules that have been deemed as too extreme by students. One of the rules that have received the most judgement from students states the it is not allowed to drink water in the classroom or even have a water bottle on the desk. Overall, Central is a good school, but it can always be better.... Read 128 reviews

Junior: My school, South Lafourche, is filled with school spirit. Our students are generally kind and look out for each other. Sports do decently throughout the year here however some coaches are very biased and simply play people they like. The school’s staff is full of amazing instructors who guarantee success in their class, there are a handful who have negative attitudes but overall the teachers are a pleasure to be taught by. Our administration are your average high school administration, nobody really loves them but they keep our school together. My school in general besides a few outliers is a place of spirit, kindness, and learning.... Read 67 reviews

Senior: Don Bosco has been the school that really brought me into reality. I started my first day as a freshman not knowing anything but going in with confidence. When I met the faculty I told them exactly that they would know my name by heart because I was going to make an impact. Don Bosco had brought the leadership characteristics out of me whether it be academically or through extra-curricular. With rigorous courses and highly developed and trained faculty and staff, they provided courses for me that allowed me to learn and apply it to my life. They ensure their students are also prepared for the real world, having an amazing corporate work study program within the curriculum. This gives an advantage to us students because we are able to build a network beyond just their high school career. The school provides nothing but guaranteed advantage upon future life endeavors....
