Also, this list is fricking terrible. Dunham ahead of Jesuit? lol

The top 4 should be something like Jesuit, Newman, Episcopal Br and Country Day. I don’t know anything about some of these other schools. But Dunham etc are a huge step back.

Country Play is a joke of a school academically.

Look down the board for the thread on Dutchtown HS.

It is the #13 public school in the state but the top one for non-selective.


The list of top 10 selective schools like Ben Franklin and BRMHS are also included.

You have no clue what you’re talking about. CD sends kids to Ivy League and elite schools every year. We had a grade of 50 send kids to Harvard, Princeton, 2 Brown, Vanderbilt, and Washington and Lee. The Princeton went on to be Chief Technology Officer at Robinhood. Pretty good if you ask me. It’s always amusing to hear some Bro Martin or whatever grad muse about what they think Country day is like, however.

High school is THE most impactful teaching environment that’s why “you New Orleans people with your high school “ is so important
Case in point: nearly every graduate of the government school BEN FRANKLIN is a DSA comrade. It’s pathetic. But dang near every kid that grads from Rummel and Brother Martin and Shaw are upstanding pro AMERICAN !????

That’s why high school is such a critical tape measure in New Orleans.

Surprised St. Thomas Moore is not on the list.


Is their reputation of being a sports factory maybe overshadowing the academic side?

I don’t know about now, but about 10 years ago or so, Curtis worked those kids academically and reminded me of how it was when I was in school vs how taught in the Catholic schools. Not dissing Catholic, was just different. It wasn’t a cake walk, at least unless it was for sports kids.

when you allow students to identify as a cat, and you enable the behavior by accomadating their stupidity, you cannot be considered a top high school.

Honestly I've never really met anyone out of Jesuit, Catholic or Episcopal that was more impressive than kids from large Texas public high schools in good districts

I’ve heard Country Day has a similar issue

TBH, the most impressive kids from Episcopal go elsewhere for school and rarely if ever come back.
