I like West Baton Rouge but how bad is it having to drive over the bridge every day?

This is a lie



Have you been to a Zachary high sporting event lately? It’s ghetto as hell, it’s embarrassing what happened to Zachary. I have some friends who were born and raised in Zachary who have pulled their kids from Zachary schools to sent them to Silliman and CP because it’s gotten so bad

Another note*

Zachary has a higher median household income compared to Central or West Feliciana parish.

If it's Baton Rouge metro I wouldn't necessarily exclude West Baton Rouge Parish.... particularly, Addis and Brusly.

Especially if Baseball is a factor.

Where you working baw? If you gotta drive to work might want to run a few test drives from wherever you start to circle on the map. Ascension parish can be a nightmare through Prairieville to Baton Rouge from some places


100% this ^^

Also, why you leaving out God's Country of the LP?

Not from WBR but I cross over every day. Some days it’s smooth sailing don’t even have touch the brakes but not very often. Most days it’s hell.

I won't get into some of the other topics re this thread but I can tell you that the ZHS baseball coach is a good coach - one of the best in the area for HS coaches. ZHS has had the good fortune of him staying in that position. There is significant coordination between him and the middle school. I'm biased because he is a personal friend.

Middle schools.
Baseball teams in and out of school.

These are the two most important factors.

Public school preferred.

Contenders:

Central
Zachary
Ascension Parish
St. George

What say you?



depends on where you are going to work.

with your emphasis on public school, that would knock out St George.

Let us know where you will be working at, general area and can make better recommendations.

These three if public school is a must

The catholic schools in BR and St. George area are very good options for private schools. Other private schools are good as well but more expensive. Public schools are dogshit.
