My overall experience with Ferriday High was great. Ferriday High is my primary school but I physically attend a school called Concordia Parish Academy which isn't listed as its own school. With attending Concordia Parish Academy I will graduate with my high school degree and also with my associates degree. This is the best part of the program to me because it saves money while keeping you ahead.

It was tolerable but the school is very unfit for students & the curriculum is lackluster, but overall the faculty and community has a heart of gold.
