Baton Rouge Area Top Schools

BRMHS my Alma Mater! I was part of the first Magnet High School class to graduate; Class of 1980. Very proud of this school achievements.

That's awesome... definitely a great school.

BRMHS is also #157 in the whole country when it comes to something called the 'challenge index,' which is the number of AP, IB, or 'Cambridge' tests taken divided by the number of senior graduates. That said, this might be 'inflated' since in just freshmen year alone 20% of freshmen either drop or fail (get below a 2.5 GPA) and don't move on at BRMHS. By graduation in Senior year, I might be wrong about this percentage, but I heard 50% of all freshmen will have, sadly, failed or dropped ('historically.')

I love all these school but my favorites are SJA and catholic

Now that St George has annexed from Baton Rouge, the numbers may change. The last I heard, Baton Rouge schools were dead last in the state.

[@LouisianaLiving]

I don't think St George has formed their own school district yet, but it's coming I'm sure. Zachary and Central seem to be doing well with their own school districts after they annexed,

Do you agree with US News & World Report's rankings?
