My nephew attends Baton Rouge High and is thriving due to the excellent teachers and curriculum. The school building is very old, a registered historical building and next year, is being refurbished while the current students will move to the old 'Lee High' property until the remodeling is completed. This school continues to rank highly in national test scores and students are continually challenged with the highest degree of learning competency. The students, teachers and administration deserve the best America has to offer and I strongly support any effort to make it a stronger school.
Baton Rouge High School has a wonderful guidance department, and a lovely office staff. However, Baton Rouge High School is geared more toward children who can teach themselves. The talented teachers on staff are the ones teaching the extracurricular classes such as drama, radio, art and television. The academic teachers are mediocre at best, so the children who perform well are the ones who need little instruction. If your child is not a self-starter and already ahead of the crowd in academics, maybe you should look at McKinley High School. It also has a free dress code, but leans more toward producing creativity in its graduates. McKinley's students think independently. This parent nailed it. Except there have been changes in the guidance department since then. Everything else is the same.
