My nephew attends Baton Rouge High and is thriving due to the excellent teachers and curriculum. The school building is very old, a registered historical building and next year, is being refurbished while the current students will move to the old 'Lee High' property until the remodeling is completed. This school continues to rank highly in national test scores and students are continually challenged with the highest degree of learning competency. The students, teachers and administration deserve the best America has to offer and I strongly support any effort to make it a stronger school.

My daughter attended this wonderful school. Historic, caring, and demanding.

Baton Rouge High School has a wonderful guidance department, and a lovely office staff. However, Baton Rouge High School is geared more toward children who can teach themselves. The talented teachers on staff are the ones teaching the extracurricular classes such as drama, radio, art and television. The academic teachers are mediocre at best, so the children who perform well are the ones who need little instruction. If your child is not a self-starter and already ahead of the crowd in academics, maybe you should look at McKinley High School. It also has a free dress code, but leans more toward producing creativity in its graduates. McKinley's students think independently. This parent nailed it. Except there have been changes in the guidance department since then. Everything else is the same.

BRMHS is easily the best school in Louisiana! Its students go on to do amazing things, and I'm proud to have graduated from there.

i attened BRMHS and loved every second of it. not only did i receive a great education but i explored different cultures and socities that had i attended any other school in the state im afraid i would have missed out on. This school helped me decided what i wanted to do with my future. I am now approaching my junior year in college and still very proud of this school. 5 stars. (my freshman year we had higher scores than any other class and the school became a blue ribbon school while i was in attendance, so that gives me even more to be proud of)

I graduated from Baton Rouge High in 2005, and I am still proud to say that I went there. I transferred to BRMHS from what was supposedly one of the best Catholic schools in the state, and even though I was an honors student at the Catholic high school, I was actually behind at BRMHS. That's how challenging this school is. However, most of my teachers were fantastic and really helped me to succeed. I was thoroughly prepared for college. My only complaint is that I think the administration is too focused on the best & brightest because they bring the most attention to the school. I loved my classmates though and appreciated the open-minded, diverse atmosphere. I could not have asked for a better high school experience and only wish I could have spent all 4 years there. It is undoubtedly one of the best high schools in the nation.

My daughter absolutely loves BRMHS! For the most part, her teachers are encouraging and engages them in deep conversations and thought in the subject matter. The principal, Mrs. Greer, actively pursues to further better the school environment and has the students and teachers best interest at heart. You know that it is apparent when students notice that she has their back!!!
