St. Amant still the best public school in the AP.

When Prairieville High opened, it was just a matter of time for Dutchtown to worsen after all of the good Prairieville neighborhoods got rezoned.

There's also 2,700 kids at that school. 7 in one day isn't bad per capita I guess since they're packed in there like sardennes all day.

There are not that many fights a day at dutchtown high school.
There may not even be that many in a year.

Not because I think the education at privates is vastly superior, but the learning environment certainly is.
People spend too much time comparing academic ratings, which are generally bullshite. If you have a motivated student and motivated parents, your child will learn.
The main benefit of private school is the segregation from trash aspect.

This is probably true. More fundamentally, subsidized housing is killing public schools. Dispersing all the trash to places they wouldn’t be if not for government subsidies. There’s a certain segment of society that’ll just always turn it’s own schools to shite.
I'm not from the area, so I don't know the lay of the land. But I was under the impression that Dutchtown was a "white flight" type suburb. Is this not the case?
Where did all the culture come from?

Largely true. The catalyst for the population boom was white flight out of BR, initiated by decent pulic schools and proximity to BR and plant work. Over time it evolved to just a rare place in Louisiana that has good work opportunity and good public schools.

Been there forever. They didn't "come from" anywhere.
ETA: and it's not bad. Crime in the area is very low. Not much thuggin it an lovin it going on outside of some very isolated pockets, which is as good as you can hope for anywhere in LA/MS/AL. It's one of very few places in Louisiana where you can have a good job and send your kids to a good public school.

Yea, I think this is common with all the BR surrounding parish schools from what I have heard. They encourage them to "graduate early" after junior year if they have met a minuscule amount of credits.

The LBJ effect and the section 8 plague will find you.
Buy the most house you can afford in a rural upscale area. Typically that’s a mostly white city on the suburbs of a major metro area. Find that city and live in the unincorporated area of that municipality.
The only minorities who seek out these locations are doing so because they don’t want to be around their own either.

What's strange is within the DTHS school zone boundary there are very few ghetto areas (mostly HWY 74 area)
I have a feeling many of those minority students are using fake addresses to enroll in the better school.
If the school would crack down and check addresses, they could eliminate some of that rif raf.
I asked my kids about the fights. They said "we don't know any of those kids who were fighting. Not really our crowd."
I said "What? Were they Pacific Islanders?"
Both of my kids just laughed.

The problem is in that culture, the black culture is that only a few people will stand up and say what the problem is. First off, very few male influences. Very few fathers in the home for those young men to look up to. They end up, looking up to some.”Unc” on the street that ends up getting them into crime. They don’t look up to any positive male role models because most of them don’t have any. But they look up to athletes, which aren’t the best role models. They have no value for life because they have not seen it. I don’t know if that can be turned around. And then you have the women, these young women that are getting pregnant because they know the government‘s gonna give them money. Don’t know who the dad is, or the dad has runoff like previous generations. They have these young little girls who basically have a sister for a mother, and no father figure. How in the world is that going to end up positive. Certainly a few of them do but the rest of them, turn into ghetto trash. And before anyone gets pissed off, guess what we have a lot of white ghetto too. I do not see an end in sight. Does anyone else?

Sounds like DTHS really needs to check proof of residency MUCH harder next school year. The ONLY thing they've ever asked for at DTHS registration was a utility bill with the student's home address. It's very easy for someone to just put their name on a relative's water bill.
I've noticed the Central school system has cracked down in recent years.

I think most of the general public would be surprised with how much gets swept under the rug in some AP schools to make those schools look better.
One of the main problems with all of this is that in some schools, there are little to no consequences for anything. Teachers are not disciplining because there is no point to it. Some kids will act up because the "punishment" is not really a punishment at all. The parents of most kids do not think that their little angel is misbehaving and will take the word of a 7 year old over any teacher.
Then you have some administrators who coach teachers to not report incidents because it will look bad on their school. So fast forward through the school year and you have problem children who hit others and act out and there is nothing happening to protect other kids and even teachers. Some administrators even will place blame on teachers when the teachers hands are tied.
These issues are more commonplace in our "great" schools in AP than most people know. This all leads to the high school level where these kids act like animals because no accountability has been implemented for their entire school careers.

I'm not all that far removed from high-school in ascension parish and have family members there right now. Your entire post is horribly over dramatic doom casting. Its not that frickin bad.
At least in AP your whole tirade is applicable to donaldsonville and it's even still a bit embellished for them.

No shite. What High schools did they go to that didn’t have fights? I guess now that someone streams it on TikTok or Snapchat and it’s black kids, it’s so much worse than the fights from when we, or even our parents, were in HS.

You’re being dramatic lol. Everyone is blowing this out of proportion. That tells you all you need to know about how good and safe the schools actually are in AP. People are freaking out over a fight at a large public high school in Louisiana lol. In most public high schools, especially in Louisiana, this is a normal and daily occurrence.
