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.
When did EDS expand beyond 6th grade?

Lafayette has more options and schools are bigger there
Dated but an interesting past, decades ago parents of good athletes in Laffy would send sons to Notre Dame in Crowley. They always made at the quarterfinals and back then that meant better chance to be seen by college scouts.

went to one of the public high schools that is highly regarded on here and a good 50% of the student body were dumb, trashy kids. Many did a lot of drugs
I went to a Nola top tier private in the 90s and I can tell you drugs were very prevalent there too. Rich kids doing coke etc. Drinking was also excessive and pretty much encouraged by parents as they facilitated a lot of it
I loved my high school, but to say drugs aren't a thing in privates is just wrong

Why?

In North Bossier when I was a kid, all the ne'er do wells who were kicked out of public school went to private school.
Our public schools were fine.

Ruston HS has a sort of school within a school science and technology program now that draws kids who might otherwise have gone to Cedar Creek. Plus, CC has traditionally drawn kids from outlying parishes. Some of those parishes now have charter schools and other options that make staying home more appealing.

I don't have any animosity toward "the creek." Some of my cousins went there and my aunt taught there for many years. The founders and original board members were a who's who of Ruston business and social leaders.. But it has gotten pretty trashy lately.

You send your kids to LCA to play sports, academics are terrible
I've told this story here before. I'm not originally from Lafayette, and I went to public school a long time ago. My daughter's team was playing LCA in soccer and I asked my wife if they were a good school, and she told me they were "ghetto." I said ok and didn't think too much about it. Later in the game I witnessed an LCA mom and dad yelling at each on the sidelines because the dad was yelling at his daughter on the field.
Small population sample, but that's the impression I have of the parents from that school.
