Actually, not really. My son graduated from there in 2017 and it was 1,000 a semester.

Now speaking on the general theme of this thread
I can speak from some pretty good experience here with him.

First of all, you don’t “catch the gay”. At LSMSA, it is my firm belief that if with most of the students there, if you aren’t on the LBGTQ something something spectrum, then you are the oddball. They use goofy pronouns and cis/pan/asexual all the time. Even nerds form cliques and have nerd hierarchies. We sent him there thinking he’d fit right in because he’s socially awkward and kind of a nerd, and he had more issues there than in Shreveport.

It probably prepared him better for college, but we’ll never know because he flushed all his scholarships down the toilet within a year at Tech.

I don’t think he was “indoctrinated” at all by any faculty. As an educator myself, I’m pretty sure that’s a myth perpetuated by right wingers whose kids turn out to be open to other ideas when they are adolescents.

I probably would keep him at Magnet High knowing what I know now.
