I've been here for five years, and I've seen the changes that have taken place. There's pride in this school that is second to none. I'm glad to be a member of this faculty. Now, no school is perfect, but we're certainly heading in the right direction.

Are there things at Scotlandville High that could and should be changed? Of course; it's like that at any school. Are we working to improve discipline and accademic performance? Yes. I am very proud of my school and the the students who attend. We are generally forsaken by the parish (both in terms

Read more of the school board and the citizens of EBR), but we are fighting to create an environment where our children want to learn and better themselves; we are bringing in educators who truly want to close the achievement gap; and we are always keeping the children first and foremost in our hearts, minds, and decisions. I have been offered positions at other schools in the parish--but there is no where else I want to teach. I am proud of my school... Read less

This school is one of the best in the district. It offers many hands on activites and the teachers helps every student to do the best they can. It has many advanced classes at a lower grade level, unlike most high schools, and is a perfect preperation for those students who plan to enter College.

I graduated from SMHS in May 2003 as a Magnet/Honors student. The school is not the best and I can not fully blame the faculty, staff, or administration for the all downfalls of the school (there are a few exceptions). For the parents who are talking negatively about the school, they are partially to

There are faculty members who care about the outcome of students, but these same faculty members can not make the students or their parents care about what lies ahead in the future. Read less

This school is an overall great school. Like with any other school Scotlandville has its own problems. The principal just sits in her office half of the time and the students are left to act as they please. Many of the teachers befriend the students, instead of making it clear that they are teachers

Parents are not as involved in this school as the should be. The courses that are offered at Scotlandville are college prepatory courses. The main problem is the administration. Once the administration starts doing their job effectively, then the overall outcome of the school will be better. The Engineering Program is wonderful. It is still in its early years, but it prepares students for the field of Engineering. Read less

This school needs a lot of work. The principal and assistant principals are more interested in the school's test scores than in adequate discipline and actually teaching the students. Students run the school because of the lack of discipline and the teacher's feel of desperation. Have community and
