If you have relevant, good info on the following schools, please leave what you know (in regards to academics/school quality) about each, especially if you attended or have kids who've attended.
Cypress Heights Academy
Episcopal School of BR
St. George
Most Blessed Sacrament

This is for early childhood/elementary education.

They have a girl that has won all of the middle school cross country races for two years. She is fast.

No idea on academics. All of my kids are at Episcopal. Good school and not very large. It's not heap cheap but if fits our children.

I went to Episcopal 2nd-12th and got a good education. We had nearly 100% college rate with lots of elite universities sprinkled in. I squandered it and went to ole miss. EHS was harder than Ole Miss

That's all I got.

ETA:

It was kind of liberal when I was there as well. I'm sure it has changed though.

St. Aloysius is head and shoulders the best private elementary school in the city.

Episcopal is favorite thus far..very impressive academics and curriculum. But it didn't seem to boast a lot of diversity.

Yeah but I'm asking about specific schools bc St. A and other schools being mentioned aren't an option. I'm not driving that far everyday.

From my experience, this school is uppity. Their name is so braggadocious.

Yep, they are the MOST blessed sacrament, all other sacraments are second rate.

Don't get carried away chief.

And Picc, what kind of diversity are you looking for? Plenty of different races, religions, nationalities represented.

Too expensive tbh. However, there was a big emphasis on the arts and we had a good bit of gay faculty.

Awesome facilities too, that's for sure.

ETA:

We had tons of foreigners too.

A root canal sounds more inviting

My brother left Menard for PHS and was behind academically. Went to OLPS and then Menard.. Pineville was a huge shock. So I guess what I'm saying is.. no, my kids wouldn't attend the Cat-lick schools in Cenla. Maybe Country Day but that's it. Weird how it's the opposite just two hours south.

Episcopal School of BR

Went there for from K-12. I personally liked it and met a lot of nice people, teachers, etc. Went to a talent show the other day and it seemed a little bit more ghettofied than it was when I attended HS there fwiw. Still a very good school imo.
