re: best public schools in surrounding Baton Rouge area

The thing is when you start comparing scores between the 2 is if you take individual schools from Prairieville, geismer , dutchtown and compare those to Zachary they are neck and neck, but when you compare the 2 districts Zachary does better because they don't have Donaldsonville weighing them down

Has Zacahary peaked probably so, Ascension continues to grow and has all the plants and industry on the river as a tax base o continue funding the school system, Zachary ...not so much

Neither would be a bad choice

Ascension is still building new schools
