We are moving to the area. Put in an application at U high. Nothing available right now. What about the magnet schools westdale and baton rouge visual arts? They have about the same scores as the lab. All of the private schools are so exspensive.

It doesn't really matter the best school in the state and the 16 best school in the country by US/world report is Ben Franklin High school in New Orleans, LA and its campus is on UNO's campus

Westdale & BRVPA are both good schools but you may have a tough time getting into either. South Boulevard is another good magnet elementary school, but you have to enter in K or 1st grade because it's also a foreign language immersion school.
Public magnet schools have a kind of lottery system, you put in your application and you get the same priority as everyone else, with possible consideration for siblings and economic status. The deadline for the 1st round application period was today, but I think they open it up again in May. (I would say that EBR schools' magnet lottery is much more one of chance than University Lab school's selection process.)
There's lots of parochial schools that are much less expensive than other private schools in the area, but I've been told that it's tough to get into them if you're not Catholic.

I agree with you, but it's because almost everyone who applies to UHigh has either a 100% chance of being admitted (the children of politicians and other influential people in the community, recruited athletes, anyone with the last name Temple, etc.), or a 0 % chance (everyone else, pretty much regardless of intelligence).

Actually, I believe that in recent years it has gone from "Robert E. Lee High" to "Lee High" or LHS. Also, they are no longer the Rebels--they're the Patriots. I drove by not too long ago, saw that and went "WTF?"
