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.

My best experience at Southern University laboratory school was our prep rallies. It brought our students together in harmony and brought us joy and laughter. My worst experience here was possibly with the students and the disorganization of our facility. We do not have many opportunities besides sports, which I would love if they provided that for others.

I attended Southern University Laboratory School from Fall of 2005 to Spring of 2019. As a pre-k - 12 attendee I developed virtually all my skills at my tenure at this school and I currently am now enrolled at Southern University as a college student. This education system has molded me into the man I am today, and I am forever grateful.

I love school. It's a great place. The atmosphere is amazing and the students are so nice and friendly. We love to go to events and support each other all the time. We frequently cheer for each other at the events. I like to go to the football games on campus and cheer with the crowds. We dance and sing and have a good time. The teachers are also amazing at teaching. They take time out of their days during office hours to help their students that are struggling in class and aren't afraid to answer questions.
