Freshman: I've been going to this school for 12/13 years now, and I'm in the 9th grade. This school has been an amazing experience! I have had fun making friends with the girls in my grade. The best part is the traditions, such as conge (faire), may crowning, and cache cache (hide and seek), that come with being a Sacred Heart student. If you plan on attending this school, it would be an amazing choice. The teachers are amazing! The classes aren't extremely difficult (some classes are), and the teachers are great at their job (I am not speaking of all teachers).... Read 73 reviews

Parent: I must say that this school has a great formula for school-to-home connections. I really appreciated the inviting atmosphere that was created for my children as well as others to gain meaningful learning experiences. The teachers were all willing to accept and incorporate any feedback given by me that was beneficial to my child's learning. The office staff is AWESOME!! They are all kind and helpful! My children were very happy at BCA. I would recommend this school to anyone.... Read 6 reviews

Senior: I love St. Martin’s! I transferred to St. Martin’s my junior year and I was blown away. This school is so open and I love that everyone has a voice. The grades are small compared to other high-schools but nothing can compare to the relationships you form. With 54 kids in my grade I am happy to say we are our own little family. Three years ago I would have never imagined myself playing a school sport. Junior year (my first year attending St. Martin’s) I joined the tennis team, and senior year I am now playing tennis and soccer! The kids and teachers at my school do not know how to be judgmental. We all have so much fun participating in school activities because no one is scared of being embarrassed. I love my school and I am excited for the future it has prepared me for.... Read 47 reviews

Parent: Ursuline Academy is an excellent choice for girls! The curriculum is well rounded, rigorous, and fun! Girls are challenge to be critical thinkers and are taught the value of service and “agape” love of God, self, and others. The school is inclusive. Teacher’s and leadership are engaging and care about the students. Sports and extra curricular activities are at top levels-super fun, super cool! And let me tell you, lunch time, does not t disappoint. This was my daughter’s first year at UA . She transitioned from a public school so she had some adjusting to do, so the teachers and staff jumped right in to support her through and now she’s entering UA high school! In all, I’m glad we made the right choice in school for my girl! I’m glad that she is an Ursuline girl!!... Read 99 reviews

Senior: I would say that my experience at Northlake, from someone who has been going there for 7 years going on to 8, has been very good. I appreciate the endless opportunities they provide in order to set you up for college. They establish dual enrollment classes, AP classes, tutoring, act prep, one-on-one learning, etc. I cherish this by making myself a student who achieves the beyond and above. They challenge you, setting you up for more to conquer on an everyday basis. It has made unit a student to conquer anything that comes my way. With that being said, our motto is based upon Thinking—Leading—Serving. Northlake successfully opens these pathways up in order for you to achieve these things.... Read 43 reviews

Senior: I’ve gone to this school for 5 years and this is my Senior year, and I have enjoyed my time there. It’s been a pleasure meeting teachers and students that I will never forget, in all my years there. I’ve had the best teachers in every single subject there’s no doubt about it.... Read 8 reviews

Parent: Everything about our experience was wonderful. The teachers are exceptional. They genuinely care about their students’ education and over all well being. The administration and support staff was very helpful and quick to respond. The parent/teacher communication is easy via the app and weekly newsletter. We had very good experience with speech therapy. The outdoor facilities are nice-good play area and good resources for exercise and play for recess and PE. They did a fantastic job handling covid issues. I love the proximity to Walnut St. playground for after school. The building is beautiful and safe. The PTO is active and does a good job of organizing events to involve parents and show appreciation for the teachers. It is a very good community and my kids are off to a great start to a life in which they ENJOY learning. I had a kindy and a 1st grader this year. I can’t say enough good things about this school and the people who work here. I had nothing but positive interactions.... Read 8 reviews

Parent: Amazing administration, kind and creative teachers, high parent involvement, well-maintained building and campus -- overall it's a very positive environment. I agree that they do not have a very diverse student body population but still more so than surrounding private schools. As with many schools in Louisiana and the south in general, it is heavy on rules (more of an "authoritarian" model) that make little sense other than making sure that everyone complies. My daughter, who came from a Montessori environment, was shocked at the need to blow whistles and holler at kids when they are out of order at lunch and on the playground. Same with the use of behavior charts. It's degrading and much can be achieved without resorting to such tactics.... Read 2 reviews
