GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The school overall is good in my opinion. The workload does get heavy here and there as the school's main purpose is to prepare its students for college. I think it does a great job in preparing students for college and it provides good resources and help in applying to college.

Baton Rouge High was my dream school since I first saw it, in like 6th grade. There is a lot of work but it's a great school and you will definitely make a good group of friends here. It's free dress, which I love, and the dress code is a bit strict but I'd rather that than uniforms. There is a lot of freedom there and it's really fun. The teachers are 50/50. Overall, I love this school, and I wish I could come back.

If you want to go to a challenging school then this is your school. Social problems aren't there like other schools, however, we have academic stress. It's nothing like the movies and it's honestly not even worth it.

10/10. Attending BRMHS was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, where I learned the value of hard work, made life-long friends, and discovered and persued my passion. The teachers made a lasting impression on me, and the rigorous workload overly prepared me to make the jump to a collegi...
