Why did you assume high school? That’s creepy.

And the feeder schools to those schools. I thought that was implied since what feeder school a kid attends would depend on where in the city someone lives.
Its creepy you want to know about where the younger kids will go.

1) north shore
2A) Lafayette
2B) LC
4) NOLA
5) BR
6) Shreveport
Northshore is going to be your safest, best demographics
Lafayette and LC are going to be 2nd safest. Lafayette has more options and schools are bigger there. Limited options in LC with St Louis and EDS for HS but you tend to know almost everyone there and all the other parents. In both places they will make some connections but not nearly what Nola and BR will make. Both areas have good private schools though with good history. The elementary and middle school private in LC is very very good, both OLQH, ICCS and EDS.
I ranked Nola above BR just because neither are going to be the safest but Catholic/Jesuit/BM/Newman etc are all going to be good schools but imo the nola schools will give you more connections for later in life. But both Nola and BR private schools are going to provide more connections than any other city on the list. Both have schools with history of producing top notch grads that go on to be very successful.
i would not live in Shreveport pretty much no matter what.

My wife wants to send our daughter to Sacred Heart, and I will be 6 feet under before I ever allow that to happen
I have a real enjoyable fight with her scheduled for sometime in the future

Trinity is the best grammar school in New Orleans. Students are regularly in top quartile, if not higher, when they enter high school. Hard to get into and expensive - but you said money is no worry.

if you are talking safety, exposure to things like drugs etc especially at a younger age...yea
if you are strictly talking connections than no and i mentioned that.
the education at any of the good private schools is going to be comparable especially for your top level students who will be doing AP and dual enrollment anyways

Interestingly, in NOLA where one goes to school matters. It’s the only place I’ve lived in where “Where did you graduate?” refers to high school vs college.

matter more there than anywhere else but it matters in Lafayette too.
seems to matter way less in LC and BR
but in the end if your kid doesnt plan to live in Louisiana after college then send to the safest and most sheltered imo.

It's an extremely mediocre school that is twice as expensive as all other private all girl high schools in Nola area
