It's a very good school and people are very friendly. Like you can ask a person in the hallway if they know how to braid and they will braid your hair or put on your lashes if you ask.

My experience at Lake Charles College Prep has been pretty good. It's not really a bad school just kinda wish I was able to experience a real highschool experience but it's been a good run for these past years. What I like about the school is our school spirit when it comes to supporting the students in any kind of way, the people are always there. It's a great feeling to have so many people support us even through the bad times. Giving us motivation to keep going and pushing to do our very best no matter what. If I was to change something about my school it would be the food and just a few things but overall the experience was worth it and can't wait to see what is more to come as I continue on my journey as a highschool senior.
