Middle School Student: This school is pretty good. I have enjoyed my expirience here and made some great friends. The teachers are great and I enjoy most of the work they provide.

Alum: Alexandria Senior High School was an overall amazing school filled with teachers/ staff that genuinely care about the education of their students. One thing I loved about this school is the diversity is like no other. No matter what kind of day you were having, there were students from all kinds of different backgrounds at school to cheer you up.

• Rating 4.1 out of 5  49 reviews

Junior: I love how everyone at Menard can openly express their faith: we pray at the beginning of class and can incorporate God in the classroom, one thing we could not do in public school. Menard also has plenty of opportunities in extracurricular activities and many events for its students to participate in...Read 49 Reviews

Senior: Pineville High School is a wonderful school. The teachers and administration are encouraging and helpful. At PHS, I have had the opportunity to try new things and become a leader in many organizations. The academics are rigorous and the teachers are extremely knowledgeable in their areas. The faculty is supportive and nurturing to all their students. The culture of the school is like that of a family. Upon entering it's doors, students feel welcomed and included by students and faculty. Students feel safe to be themselves and confident to follow their passions...Read 248 Reviews

Grace Christian School

• Private School
• ALEXANDRIA, LA
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.31 out of 5  49 reviews

Senior: Many of the teachers at Grace Christian School are highly experienced with a love for their students and a passion for teaching. I really enjoy the small classroom environment because it allows the students to interact with the teacher and each other. We may not have football, but we have a wide variety of other sports. Our lunch is catered by a variety of restaurants near the school. I like this because it allows me to choose the meals that I like from high-quality restaurants. Something I would like to change is the number of dual enrollment courses. I think that it would be beneficial for Juniors and Seniors to have more dual enrollment classes offered. Overall I have had a fantastic time at Grace Christian School and I would definitely recommend it to anyone...Read 49 Reviews

University Academy of Central Lousiana

• Private School
• ALEXANDRIA, LA
• 7-12
• Rating 4.78 out of 5  32 reviews

Junior: UA is by far the best school is Central Louisiana for college readiness. Located on site on LSUA campus, students in grades 9-12 take classes with actual college professors, among other college students, on campus. Students have the opportunity and have successfully graduated with associate's degrees from LSUA. There is no better college readiness experience than actually taking college classes with UA faculty and teacher's support. Add a 4 day school week, tons of sports and club opportunities, and fantastic academics and you simply get a great, home-like school for grades 7-12. As a junior, I have been active in at least 3 clubs a year every year since I've been at UA, and am more than on track to get my associate's. Small teacher to student ratios make everyone familiar with each other and a better learning experience. The UA Lion family is truly the best in the area...Read 32 Reviews

Senior: I have been going to Tioga High School for 4 years. I am currently a senior and going to graduate in May of this year. Tioga High School is an excellent school academically but the school does lack communication. There have been many times where I did not know of certain opportunities due to their lack of communication. Other than that the teachers and faculty do their job very well, every teacher that has taught me was an excellent teacher. Tioga does not only focus on getting the students a great education but they make activities and events to give the students a good time...Read 103 Reviews

• Rating 3.86 out of 5  118 reviews

Senior: What I like about my school is that the atmosphere is very spirited and involved in the sports games and school functions. We are a small school so pretty much everyone is friends with everyone. The atmosphere is very inviting! If I could change something about my school, it would be the lack of diversity in the race and general interests of our student body. Because of this, we do not always have the available clubs or groups that other schools have because there are not enough students interested in participating...Read 118 Reviews

I loved my time at the school and have made so many friends. I’m thankful that we had the best teachers to get us were we are now.

Senior: My experience at Glenmora High School, I would say has been enjoyable since I first came here in third grade. I haven´t had any issues or serious problems with the school or it´s students over the years. Everyone is friendly, and not as rude as people are usually. I get along with everyone in class especially new comers, Glenmora always welcomes them with open arms no matter where you come from,and that is something I´ve always loved about this school. They know how to keep there system safe, interesting, and educational for everyone...Read 44 Reviews
