Because the public school system sucks. Currently live around LSU and would love for my kid to get accepted into the LSU Lab school but that is such a crap shoot. Given that fact I've been looking into moving to an area where the public schools are better and the work commute is feasible. Been looking at Central and Dutchtown the most. Still got a couple years before he starts real school to make a decision but have been casually looking at houses in case something pops up that blows me away.

My grandparents both went to u-high. My grandfather aND uncle both won national championships at lsu. My grandfather was ranked as top 50 businessman from lsu, and I scored a 21(28 sr year) on my act in middle school. U-high wouldn't even interview me. My point is, I definitely think moving needs to be in your plans.


I know your kids not in high school, but it's all crazy hard to be accepted into.

My parents have lived in Central for 40yrs. It used to be really nice,quiet, low stress. Not so much anymore, massive white flight, and traffic sucks. Have heard even the new schools are overcrowded. Unless you work in a plant, I'd stay on the south side or LP. If you could hack it I'd move to STP and put your kid in NLCS. Blast away!
