Pretty good school that definitely has some good teachers. Though some teachers are only there to sit at a desk and show videos in class, many teachers actually teach and are always open to questions. The school rewards 4.0 students with special lunch once a month and makes sure to let students who behave know that they're appreciated. Younger teachers that relate to students more are much better at explaining questions it seems.

The school needs to treat all sports teams equally. They don't provide things to fix tennis courts but they can plant and paint the football fields. The school just needs to treat everyone equally.

It's a decent school. They have some good classes for gifted and honors students. The school is very conservative, making it hard to be a person of color or LGBT+ student.

For what it is, it's not bad. It's a relatively small town in a relatively rural area. I am impressed to see that they do have a fine arts program, small though it may be, and I like that they are on board with the AR program. With the pathetic state of Louisiana's school budget, they're very lucky...

If you want to be a construction worker this is the place to graduate from. Monroe schools don't offer much better either so Louisiana is just all together a bad place for education.
