They have nowhere near the number of students they had before.

This is the first step to having the necessary control to preserve and improve the educational system. You don't like it because of what it will do to Baton Rouge. I get that.
Baton Rouge? Try St. George, Baton Rouge, and then P'ville and LP.
Until you can get a moat dug and a permit for building a concrete wall complete with guard towers, machine gun nests and checkpoints, the plague will only get bigger and more intense until you stop running from your problems and face them. Learn from your grandparents and parents. Don't repeat their mistakes and expect a different result. The answer is not to run from BR, but to invest in it. Show me an area that people choose to invest in and I'll show you an area that is in demand. It's pretty simple stuff, but it does require us to stop running and take the offensive to get what was stolen from us back. Check that. It wasn't stolen. We gave it away because we thought it was disposable like we fashion everything else these days.

How much do St. George residents do for their schools now? How much do they really participate in school functions and fundraising and donating?
Most students don't have two licks of school pride because of how shitty the board treats the students, not caring about how they do in the long run or what they become after school, only what their test scores reflect.
I was very active in high school from sports, to theater to school news segments. A couple years after graduating, I tried to go back and say hey to some of the teachers that I became close with and was turned down. I was told that EBRPSS does not want people that aren't students or employees on campus during school hours. It kind of kills the attempt to have a little bit of school spirit and visit from time to time.
The other day, my brother called me after school saying one of my favorite teachers quit because she was being harrassed by students. They were calling her an old white hag, racist, and many other things. She went to the administration about this, who did nothing. She went to the school board about this, who also did nothing. Eventually she gave up hope and quit.
How can someone have pride in their school if the school doesn't defend one of the best and most tenured teachers there?
Those aren't the type of kids and the kind of people I want my kids associating with at school or having run their school.
If I cannot send my kids to private school their whole life, what other choices do I have? My parents had to send me and my siblings to public school after attending private school from K-8th grade because it was just to expensive. The only reason we went to private school is because our mom taught there. St. George forming would give me better options if I need them, so why not?

You are getting a discount if you are catholic, look at their rate schedule. Just because you've never had to look at it doesn't mean other people don't. I've looked at pretty much all of the private schools cost and none are at 3k a year.
Please prove that I'm ignorant and show me where tuition only costs 3k a year.

Are you saying that staying in EBR, keeping my money in EBR and keeping my child in school in EBR is 'running from my problems?' What exactly do you call what the BRPD chief of police did, which is taking his Baton Rouge paycheck and his kids to Ascension parish? If staying here and incorporating is fleeing, what do you call moving out of the parish?

quote:Doesn't sound very different from the current state of the majority of EBR schools.
So? Their performance grade went down to an F. This year they are back to a D rated system. They are the only one of the 3 newly created ISD in EBR that didn't raise their school property taxes after they broke away.
So, worst case scenario is that the schools end up being the same?
As for the taxes issue, let's put it into dollars and cents:
quote:Median home value in Baton Rouge is $151,500 from 2011. After HE, the property taxes per year are $765.
They improved after Zachary raised their school property taxes by almost 80%. Central raised their school property taxes by about 50%.
So for Zachary, that was $620/yr.
For Central, it was $380/yr.
Scary.

Well I must be getting a discount then. I dont pay anywhere near that amount a year to send my kids to catholic school.
#1, you need to learn how to quote the proper poster when you quote someone.
#2, how much do you pay to send your kids to catholic schools? What is the primary reason you send them to these schools? How many kids do you have?

Hmmmm????

You are 100% right. We pay 10K+ for my two kids. I don't have the figures in front of me, but it's probably closer to 12 or 13K.

So St. George is around 5k.
STM is around 6k
Sacred heart around 5k.
Which is more than 3k a year. If you have 2 or 3 kids are you swinging 10k to 15k a year for private school?
They are all catholic schools also.

I'm saying that none of these problems happened by themselves overnight, but were at a direct result of the baby boomer mindset that didn't invest in the city, rather they left it. It comes from piss poor zoning, extremely low density sprawl, and two surface street arteries going in either direction of the city and mind numbing traffic as a result. It comes from the Interstates becoming Main Street and a downtown and parts surrounding it left to rot and become uninhibited, even by the very derelicts that people think inhabit it, because it's been that long since they've spent any significant time down there to know any better.
I'm saying that the answers to these problems won't happen overnight, but they certainly won't ever happen but wax much much worse until we first admit like an alcoholic that we have a problem that we can't run from, hold our breath and hope it just goes away, or hide in our homes and hope like a Passover it will pass us by.
You are NOT isolated from a plague that grows in size and Intensity at every passing day. There is no Florida Blvd demarcation line to differentiate one place from another, and then it's I-12. What's the new line in the sand? Highland Road?

Whether it's 3k per year per kid, Or 6k per year per kid, is irrelevant.
The potential to pay 50-80% increase in property taxes [assuming Russian is correct] (which falls in the neighborhood of $400-600/yr for most families) for ALL of their kids is a worthwhile gamble for most families.
You roll the dice that SG works out and gives you a Zachary. Worst case scenario is that it's not better and you are right back where you started but have an extra $500/yr in property taxes.
You're still going to have to decide to move out of EBR or go to private school.
But.... what if it is a great educational system?

TBH there was never any mention of how many kids it would take to reach the 6-10K argument
