Uptown

The school is horrible. The girls are mean and the administration does not care about the students. I was harassed by the principal, Julie Boyd, until I left. The girls do not accept new students and hate people who are different. The culture is money, the girls will only accept you if you can afford the current designer bag or dress. Parents pay to get their children out of trouble.

As a student who transferred in from a public New Orleans high school in the 9th grade, I can definitely say it was one of the better decisions I've made in my life. I've found that there are countless resources available and at you're disposal, the kids are not snobby like whats expected (in fact they are nicer than kids at public school and are usually very humble and respectful if they do possess lots of wealth*,) the campus is unlike any other high school I've seen, and the amount of sports and AP's they offer is a major plus. I will say that certain aspects of the student body are cliquish and you are definitely at a disadvantage if you don't live uptown/near campus. Nevertheless, I personally found a friend group that I'm content in. Also, if you don't participate in either a sport, debate, or theatre than I wouldn't come. Only downside for me are that certain teachers are not very passionate about what they are teaching nor do they care for the students. I found that many teachers are only there so they can get a discounted tuition price for their own children. Regardless, I've also had some awesome teachers so you win some you lose some. *the boys are often snobbier than the girls

I was an employee there for a couple of months. After I resigned and returned to my classroom to get my belongings, many of them were not there. VERY DISTURBING! Either an employee/s of that school took the items they wanted, administration discarded my items, or administration allowed others in the classroom without establishing proper protocol. It's appalling that staff members would intentionally take things that don't belong to them, yet it's just as appalling that administrators do not have a code-of-conduct in place to (hopefully) prevent such mishandlings. After making this known to administration, the lackadaisical response was "No one took any of your belongings to my knowledge." Despicable and I will pursue this! It's inexcusable!
