I've attended David Thibodaux STEM Magnet Academy for the past seven years. Overall, it's been a both positive and negative experience. All with growing and thing changing as you grow up. The teachers are very supportive, and the curriculum is challenging but rewarding. The school isn't perfect it has flaws in its own way but that what makes it a comfortable and reliable school to attend. I am honored to be considered a future graduate of 2025 and hope for the best for the schools growth from her on now.

5.0 Senior

9/24/2024

David Thibodaux STEM Magnet Academy is one of the best schools I have attended throughout my life. I am currently a senior and I have been attending this school since 9th grade, it has been the best experience. Although I was shy and nervous at first, the teachers, counselors, and people helped to bring me out of my comfort zone. It has its ups and downs, but what school doesn't? Overall, choosing David Thibodaux STEM Magnet Academy as my school was the best decision I could've made.
