Don't know about Ascension or Tuerlings, but I doubt you're going to get your kids in STM unless they are star athletes. That's the only reason we started ours at St. Pius so they will be guaranteed a spot at STM. I'm assuming the OP is not catholic, so this will be another strike against you trying to get them in.
Tuerlings is lot more lenient if you're not Catholic. I almost went there as my dad lived not to far away off of Wilderness Trail but I ended up going to a private school in Opelousas.

Crime in Monroe is getting out of control. Lafayette is booming, but so is the Northshore. Once the pussies here realize the economic impact the tracking operations will have, I won't leave. All of the public schools are great and there is zero crime. Laffy can't offer that for me at this time in my life
Northshore is by leaps and bounds the best place to live in Louisiana if you have a family. Lafayette is a very distant second. Some of the suburbs around Baton Rouge are nice but the traffic is horrible and it gives off to much of a redneckish vibe to me.

There are some areas that are less redneck than others (Pelican Point), but that's pretty accurate. I grew up trashy so I'll always love "The Redneck Riviera" down on the Diversion Canal, Blind River, Amite, and Petite Amite.

Has STM really gotten that hard to get in? I know they try to keep the population to stay in 4a but still.

It's very competitive. You have to have the right credentials, make the right donations, have a family connection, have an athletic kid, come from the right middle schools, ect.

Just going off of what parents have told me. I guess I just don't know shite, then

I mean there are plenty of those kinda of people there, but I know plenty of average student, very middle class, non athletes that go there
Posted on 7/1/14 at 2:29 pm to kingbob
Well i went to STM. It wasn't that hard back then. We moved here and I didn't know a soul and started a couple weeks into the school year.
There's way more academic scholars than great athletes that go there btw.

You speak out of ignorance. Lafayette parish is 221,578. If you include the metro acadiana area it's about twice that.

If this is the case, I'm about to rip my wife a new a-hole for lying to me(she went to STM and I'm just a dumb redneck from north La). And pull my kids out of Pius and save that $12k per year.

It'll def help having your kids in a feeder school for STM. I went there 12 years ago so things could have drastically changed since then.
6k a piece for pius?

No, no it wasn't. There was plenty of social media shite talk but who cares. I mean the NOLA Bowl thread from that year(2011) was basically one big San Diego St. rooting fest. Then you guys lost and the "we won in the Dome" shite talk started.

yeah, none of this. STM is a good Catholic school, nothing more.

I don't think pius is 6k a kid but I don't pay that close attention to our bills either

Me neither(to the paying attention to bills), but I'm pretty sure with after care and lunch and all that shite it is right at 6K a kid. Over 5 for sure.
ETA: Just did the math...and it's about $6,700 for a 5th grader

Exactly. You can go to public school k-8, and still get in to STM.
I does help if your kid is in the feeder schools (Cathedral Carmel, Our Lady of Fatima, St. Pius) and doing well. Some kids from these schools do opt to go to Teurlings, Laf High Gifted program, or (less likely) Comeaux High.
There are 1,100 kids at STM, and the vast majority are not in athletics.
Donations (monetary and in-kind) aren't necessary either, but I doubt they would refuse them. That's how shite gets done in a private school. As opposed to the silliness that has become public school board meetings, fraught with name calling, bickering, grand-standing, resistance to change, and secret investigations.

Gotcha. We don't have after care so maybe that's why
Posted on 7/1/14 at 3:44 pm to yellowfin
Yeah, extended care is $1,100/year. I never knew about all the other BS fees until I just looked at the admissions book online. What a crock! But at least I don't have to worry about my little girl coming home with little Leroy.
