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.

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.

My experience at Belle Chasse has always been great. I love going every day to interact with some of the best teachers that any student could ever ask for. Everyone gets along well and the faculty always have something fun planned for us student to experience.
