I am a current student at Loranger High, and I must bring some light to these horrible accusations. I have attended Loranger schools since kindergarten, and my my parents did the same. Also I am enrolled in as many accelerated programs as LHS offers, so some may consider me one of these 'elite'. However
... Read more I must say that all students at Loranger High School are given equal opportunities. The standard of education individual students receive is based on their will to succeed. Unlike many other schools in the area, LHS teachers will not 'give' anyone anything. Loranger's academic platform is built on hard work. Therefore a student simply MUST have a good work ethic to excel. In no way is elitism a part of LHS. Also the administration at Loranger High, is tops. Our principal is very highly educated, and has nothing but our best interest at heart. All of us. Read less

If I had it to all over, my children would not have attended Loranger High School. This school is all fluff and no substance. It's a great school if you want a 'Stepford' child. I want a superior education. Teachers are not allowed to teach. Discipline is enforced according to who you are or the

I am disappointed in Loranger High School. The majority of the faculty are new and very inexperienced teachers. If I had a chance to do it all over, my children would not have attended Loranger High School.

Loranger is in desprate need of a new principle so that it might see the harm the staff is inflicting on some of the 'lower class' students. If you are not one of the elite, you mean nothing to them. Special treatment is given to atheletes and cheerleaders. What is done for the children that just

The principal at Loranger High School is simply one of the best pure educators in Louisiana. She has successfully raised the academic scores by changing attitudes and paying attention to every detail. Anyone who does not think that Loranger High School is a great school is telling one 'tall tale.' Loranger

This school would benefit from a new administration. The principal does not treat all students and faculty members fairly. I know of a few outstanding teachers who have left Loranger High School because of this problem. Discipline is very inconsistent, and in some situations, non-existent.

Loranger High is one of the best schools I have ever been to, the teachers were so involved, EVERY student fit in. It was a very close knit school. While I attended school there I learned a lot more then I learned in 2 other schools. I would give anything to go back to Loranger High school.

Loranger High School is by far the best around. The school is not just your typical school, it is a community. Everyone cares about everyone else. All school activities as well as local programs work together for the betterment of the community. We have teachers who truly care and get the job done.
... Read more This is the kind of school a parent looks for when choosing an educational facility for their child. I moved to the area sixteen years ago. Before I moved here my children were in parochial schools. While I was looking for a home (in various areas of the state and out of state) my primary concern was the schools. The schools are what brought me here and kept me here. I successfully raised four children and they all graduated from Loranger High. They went on to college and/or successful careers. This school district is by far the best. Read less
