My favorite part of Saint Scholastica Academy is the bonds that I get to make with my fellow classmates. The sisterhood at SSA is like no other, and it makes me feel at home because of the friendships that I have made with my peers.

Saint Scholastica Academy is a fantastic school for girls to go to. It includes a variety of sisterhood and freedom, everybody has a place here. This school is a home away from home and I can't express enough how much I love this school. It changed my life for the better.

St. Scholastica Academy is the least diverse school in the entirety of Louisiana. 98% of there student body is white, thus there is racism. The administration is also Incompitant, making decisions no one asked for and providing little to no help. The work load is also overwhelming at times, and you will often find students drowning in the math assignments or with 4 tests in one day. Besides this, parking spots where 75 dollars for one spot and not included in the base price of the school.

I definitely would not recommend transferring in mid-year. And because of this scheduling, these girls are only taught Religion for 1 semester. I w...
