Grace King High School

I graduated in 2010 and I miss every bit of high school! Those 4 years were so much fun! I enjoyed the classes, the teachers, the extracurricular activities (mainly JROTC), and the overall environment! I wish that I could do it all over again - Bissonet, Meisler, and Grace King!!!

Grace King High School is probably the best public high school in the area and deserves to be recognized. As a current senior, I think King offers a great amount of advanced classes (AP, Gifted, & Honors) which really prepare the students who challenge themselves to take these courses for college and beyond. Teachers are always willing to help or tutor those who are struggling, too. Also, we have an enormous amount of extracurricular options available, from the state award-winning Newspaper the Irish Eyes and the five-board student council system to JROTC, Mu Alpha Theta Math Club, Engineering Club, Key Club, 4-H, French Club, National Honor Society, the Shillelagh yearbook, Black History Club, and so many more! We have students who particpate, are kind to others, and staff and administration that are very good at what they do. I'm so glad I went here!

I am a recent student of Grace King and personally I think it is a very good and progressive school. They gave out laptops to the freshman students and will continue to give them out to the whole school throughout the years.I am a freshman at this school and I am in Grace King's ROTC activity. The class has a little bit of dicipline but not a lot but all the other activities seem promising.The dicipline at this school is quite acceptable now.They do not get on you as much as they used to from what I heard about last years.I agree that this is the best school your child can go to out of all the schools in Jefferson Parish.It has even won awards.

It is my opinion that Grace King is the best Public High School around. The administration is top quality and provide a very safe environment for my son. We transferred from a private school (which my daughter still attends) my son was not happy there and has flourished at King. Both his father and I are of Grace Kings first Co-Ed graduating class.

I graduated Grace King in 2004 and was very active in my school as I participated in yearbook, leadership, executive board, wrestling, drama, and art throughout my time at GK. I now attend LSU and feel that I was well prepared for college. There are great teachers and the students were wonderful. The only problems I had with Grace King come from the administration and the mission statement of the school. Counselors don't prepare students for college nor do they counsel. There uniform policy does not cohere to there mission statement. I suggest reading both before enrolling your child. GK mission statement: 'The Mission of our school community is to foster democratic values, to prepare students for everyday life, and to promote an intellectual, moral, social, safe, nurturing environment which is conducive to educational success for all students.'

Grace king is the best public high school in the region. If you can't afford a private school Grace king would be your best bet. Its a great acadamic school. Grace king has won won the national competition for 'we the people' for the last two years. Its also a good school for athletes. In 2007 Jake Hadley broke the state record in the 300meter hurdles and was the state champion in the 300eter hurdles. Grace king Rocks
