Are there any public schools in Baton Rouge that you would consider sending your kids to?

I know that BR public schools get a lot of shite for being terrible but they can’t all be terrible. Right?

No. I think CPS can use that as grounds to take your kids away.

Yes, for them to become culturally enriched. Would send them on the first day in a ski mask.

"No" is a consensus in this thread but anyone backing St George was called a racist for wanting better for their children

Seconded. It somehow resembles a pre-LBJ neighborhood school. Somehow it evades the garbage you always hear about with EBR schools.

My youngest daughter went to BR High. She also just graduated so our kids probably know each other. It's not a good fit for every kid, but the academics are excellent.

She enjoyed it and met lots of good friends there. It's such a big school (1600-1700 kids) that there are people from all walks of life. She was in a Christian private school K-8th.
