Will the day come when Zachary no longer thrives as a city?

Are people still moving in heaps to Zachary and will this continue?
HOW does Zachary stack up with Prairieville/Walker and what's the political standing within the community (are the leaders of the school board and city council respected)?
I ask because friends of mine cannot decide to move to Zachary or to a nice neighborhood in South baton Rouge. They will send their 15 and 12 year olds to either private school in BR or Zachary High/Northwestern Middle in Zachary.
How would you rate Zachary schools and is the extra money to stay in Baton Rouge (in an incredible neighborhood just 5 minutes from LSU) and attend Episcopal or Dunham worth it vs. moving to a suburb and free education?

I have not been out there for some time, but when I was, Zachary looked like it was a decade away from becoming Baker.
I have heard better things since then though.

Zachary is the third fastest growing city in the state. NO is first. BR lost population.

They have the number 1 rated school district in the state but it's deceiving because there is only a handful of schools and only 1 high school. There are a few high schools around here that rate higher than Zachary.
For me it would be a quality of life decision. I would not want to move up to Zachary to live in a suburban neighborhood. If I moved up there I would want a little acreage to live on. If they value going out and doing things, there is not much in the way of restaurants, bars, or entertainment.

What is wrong with Baker?

It's a blighted city.

Lived in Zachary for 30 yrs, Can't wait til my last one Graduates (2 yr) so that we can get the hell out. Grew up in Baker, and its quickly becoming Baker.

I live in Zachary. It seems to me to be a great place to raise your children. Of course I don't live in a subdivision either and I love that.

From what I understand, the demographics of Zachary are changing rapidly.
Central still seems ok.
