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.

it can get pretty intense. especially if you are a hotshot. i had aspirations of getting a college degree in computer science, but when i lived in a dorm with computer geniuses, it cut me down to size and i decided to focus on the humanities. so it was like a 2 year liberal arts school for me and I'm not complaining.
the staff truly wants the students to succeed and it is a much more supportive environment than what i had while at LSU. similar to what i experienced in grad school at Tulane.
if your student is thriving at the local high school, then i would not recommend LSMSA. but if your student want something different from their high school experience, as i did (wanting to get out from under my parents roof, avoid the fights that i was getting into, etc.) then I would look into LSMSA. it will also broaden your students horizons from just your local area to a student body cross section of Louisiana as a whole. You will not get that anywhere else.

My daughter went to LSMSA from her sophomore year to graduation. She could have started any school in the university of Louisiana system with 57 credit hours. Instead she decided to go to her ole mans alma mater and only got like 30 hours credit or something like that. LSU does not take the matriculation credits that the smaller schools do so basically her AP and testing credit is all she got from LSU. She now holds an undergrad degree and a master’s from LSU In history and works full time at Middleton library while getting a second masters in library science. She is happily married and seems to be normal socially. Overall, I think the LSMSA experience was great for her and saved me a ton of money with accelerated credit and scholarships.
