class of 01 here. LSMSA is basically starting college early. all academics and no sports. so there are definitely pros and cons.
for me i wouldn't change my decision. about half the kids are weird but the other half are normal. i hear they start with sophomore now. when i was there it was only junior and seniors.
i have 2 daughters now and if they were interested in attending LSMSA in high school i would seriously consider it. best HS academic environment in the state, no question.

How is the pressure? My wife (no pics) went to Ben Franklin and she was so burnt out by it she took a two year break before going to college.

In today's day and age I don't know why you'd send your kid to a boarding school? If they are already smart then they will likely graduate at the very top of their class with a high SAT/ ACT score and whatever else colleges ask for. That will get them almost anything they need.
Not seeing your kid and not seeing your parents for weeks at at time is not worth it imo.
I went to Del Rio HS in Del Rio Tx for a year, completely shite school. I was friends with a girl that was incredibly smart and her bro was a couple years ahead of us and went to Harvard. No idea where she went but probably Ivy league. Sure its anecdotal but you don't need a great HS to learn enough to go to a great college.

Can’t they play sports for natchitoches high if they can make the team?

No direct athletics there but one of the guys I know who went there was allowed to be a lineman at a local HS which offered football (probably Natchitoches Central HS).

Academic all-state, 2nd base. Suck on that, nerds! I'll probably force my kids to consider it a little more than I did
