I know some doctors, judges, business people, and UGA athletic director graduated from Hammond High. I also know they all went to private or SLU lab school K-8.
Not all public’s are equal, even in the same town.

I'm not as familiar with Hammond area schools.
I'll say this as a general rule for Louisiana. There's very few public schools in Louisiana that will be able to hold up to the private school education.
I'll tell you my own experience, although it was going from a boarding school in Vicksburg, MS to a public school in BR. I went to boarding school in 9th and 10th grade. Because of some outside factors, I ended up back in BR for my junior year, but bc it was so late, I didn't have time to get into any other schools. My neighborhood went from being a Woodlawn district to being in Tara's district.
To make a long story short, I learned everything I was being taught in my junior year at Tara in 8th and 9th grade. It wasn't a good situation and me being young and immature, I thought it was stupid for me to just sit there and have to learn everything again, so I dropped out. I scored really high on my GED, so I was still able to go to college, but looking back, not exhausting every resource to get in to another school was one of the biggest life changing experiences/decisions I made and not for the better.

Hammond area you’d be fine in public schools. Obviously location matters but a majority of it all depends on how involved the parents are and how much in the loop they are on what their kids are doing.
Who are they hanging around with? What types of families do their friends come from? What exactly are the schools teaching?
