The absolute worst 4 years of my life. Everyday was a battle and struggle to get through. Rigorous discipline with no fun, 0 privacy. I felt as though I was an animal being caged, dehumanized. Lisa Harvey traumatized me so bad that I am now in intensive trauma therapy twice weekly to recover. The memories of this school will haunt me forever.

Went here 8th Grade year, in 9th grade now. Rules might be a little authoritative, however it balances out with the fact that I am getting the best education in the state of Louisiana, as the only 6 time award winning blue ribbon school (As of 4/26/21)

This school was really stressful! But I liked the blackened chicken pasta a lot. On my honor the Google Review I Present is fully my own and embodies the ideals of Google Review Policy.

I realized why I love this school when my Spanish teacher told us if we brought Dwayne "the rock" Johnson to her class we would all get A's.

Graduated in 15 and still love this school. Amazing faculty and staff that prepares boys to become outstanding men. I cannot give this school enough credit.
