MIT, Columbia, Duke, Vanderbilt, Penn, NYU.... What do all of these have in common? It's some of the colleges McGehee graduates attend. I have girls in middle school and high school and they are both thriving. We moved to New Orleans from NYC during the pandemic and placed our girls at McGehee and haven't regretted it for one second. Lots of chatter around New Orleans about what school is "best". If you value a smart, strong, confident girl who is fully prepared for the fast moving, always changing world - send her to McGehee. No question.

I would not recommend this school. The teachers and administration are inexperienced. Best practices are not used and their seems to be a basic understanding of child-hood development. They struggle in building relationships with parents.

The quality of education at McGehee was below average for a school with it's reputation and price point. The administration did nothing to address bullying. I was told that McGehee was know as the school for 'the Queens' and for girls who couldn't make it elsewhere. I should have listened to this advice. The school was a disappointment and I cannot recommend it.

McGehee has been everything to my daughters. It is their happy place - where they are supported by their teachers and classmates and always guided to be and do their best.

The mission for whole child education is clear and there is total buy in among teachers and families. They don’t just talk the talk.

My experience with the Lower School at McGehee has been nothing but positive. The children are excited about school each day. The teachers support their development and engage with them in great ways making learning fun for the kids.
