I am the parent of a tenth grade student of Slidell HS. So far, the experience for her and my wife and me has been very good. She is involved in some of the many extracurricular activities that the school has to offer. Most of her teachers seem to be caring and dedicated to their duties and responsibilities.

The Freshman Academy program, which focuses on the development and success of ninth grade students, has achieved positive results. Parental involvement is also very obvious as well. Overall, we are very pleased with Slidell HS and plan to send my eighth grade son there next school year. Read less

I graduated from Slidell High a few years ago, and it is an average school. I believe the main fall at SHS is the fact there are too many people on the favorite list-students that run everything i.e. saying the announcements, class president, students who get away with murder. Also some teachers are

This is our teens first year at Students, so we have a long road ahead. I agree with one other writer about the office staff. The principal's/main office staff act like they have lead in their pants.
