As a current junior in Patrick F. Taylor Science & Technology Academy, I enjoy the school and it's overall atmosphere. The teachers, staff, and students are all amazing and I can not think of something worth changing.

I have a wonderful experience with the school and the team spirit. I enjoy spending time with my friends in a safe environment. The school is very modern and clean. I love the technology the school has allowed me to experience. What I don't like is the fact that during a few of my years, teachers and staff members seem to come and go. There has been inconsistency on keeping staff members and some really great teachers have left.

The best part about my school is the college prep that all of the teachers and administration force on to us. From encouraging us to take ACT Prep and offer many ACT opportunities as well as the broad courses of AP and Dual enrollment that allows us to receive college experience. I personally took three dual enrollments which put me ahead in my engineering program at LSU. Every faculty member strives for excellence and their students too.

I am proud that my son who is a Senior this year tested into Patrick Taylor and got in! I do feel like the leftest agendas are definitely in this school as many progressive schools are nowadays. I see a lot of disturbing things that are damaging to young people. My son now feels bad for being “white...
