Runnels School

They have targeted my child as a problem child when she’s brand new to the school and is being bullied. She sticks up for herself and others and is still singled out. She’s was in 2nd grade and finished her last 3 months there and was crying before school everyday. Her teacher was rude to her and does not handle problems well. One of the faculty members hit my vehicle multiple times because my daughter was wearing shorts a smidge too short for dress down day, i simple phone call to get new clothes would have sufficed.

Very helpful teachers, they go out of there way to help there students

Horrible. If you have a child with accommodations or an IEP don't allow your child to attend this school. They could care less. Also, if your child is in need of an IEP, you do not want them to start it, they will stack it with information that's false and embellished so that the teachers will have a reason to not teach your child and just throw them in special education. There is no such thing as inclusion. They will lie. The administration offers no resources for teachers, because of the lack of knowledge themselves. I hated every day my child attended. Worse decision I could have ever made for my child. Had I not been an active mom that's involved and vocal they would have done the bare minimum for my child and not cared the least. One of the worse schools I have ever seen those cares only about making a day easy for one brand of students. Had an outside source not stepped in I would have sued this school, and I had all the documentation to do so.

2.5/5. The people who go to this school, thinks it's the best school in the state. But if you look at the ratings, it is only rated 9th. Their are 3 other school in Baton Rouge that rank better then EHS. Plus this school is limited to what it can offer other then the basic core classes. Look at Catholic, Baton Rouge High, and Lee High, and you will see there is a huge difference. Another concerns is EHS is only focused on money, they charge for everything...ie a parking pass cost $160.00. It is only $125.00 at LSU for 12 month.

I miss this school so much. I went to this school for 8 years and it was an amazing experience.
