U-High. Meeting the G-man would be worth the tuition

In my opinion, the selection should be based on where your daughter will excel. They are both exclusive. They are both high priced. One is coed and one is all girls.

We had a choice to send our daughters to either school or Baton Rouge high. We/they chose the Academy. ultimately,, I wanted to dislike it, but the results are exquisite. The Academy prepared them academically for college, and we are pleased with that result. They have not struggled or fell behind. They adapted well to the non-private school environment that college presents ultimately, that’s the most important thing.

Good luck in your selection.

At first glance, U-High seems like a great value. I will not argue that the kids will be prepped for college, but they will be influenced by a significant leftist bias there.

You’re probably going to have to wait until he buys them another building or football field.

It’s an excellent value and there’s no doubt they’re prepped for college.

I wouldn’t say there’s a significant leftist bias (yet) but it’s absolutely trending in that direction.

Don’t you love how how certain OTers fail to follow simple directions but at the same time want to stand out and their voices to be heard?

3 daughters that go to/graduated from SJA. I went in as a skeptic, but I have to admit that the school is fantastic. Not only do they love going there but they’re incredibly well prepared for college. Administration is very accessible and helpful. The athletics are better at sja as well. Except for basketball. 10/10 from me.

I’d move to Texas before I paid for private school.

So you'd rather pay outrageous property taxes?

SJA is moving more and more left every year as I understand it. Quite a shame

I can confirm.

My daughter was a senior at SJA a few years back. One of her “little sisters” - which are freshmen - wanted to be called “Tommy” instead of her real name because she was transitioning to become a male. My daughter went to the admin with concerns. The admin told her to not make a big deal about it, and to keep her concerns to herself. They bent over backwards to accommodate the 14 year old tranny.

Also, a lot of the teachers would talk down to any kid that espoused conservative viewpoints in class discussions.
