I think the best parts about my school is the football and the food here. The worst parts have to be the overall college readiness that is here at the school, I dont think the councelors do an amazing job. Other than that I believe it's one of the best if not the best public school in southern louisiana.

Going to school here is the average high school experience. The best parts were the opportunities I got to connect with new people and learn new things.

The Teachers were good, but the classes felt very limited. There were some teachers who, I feel did not do good at their job. For example, some teachers would just hand out a video or make you watch a video. Then after would expect you to know how to answer said problems with only one run through. But other than those teachers it was relatively good experience.
