Episcopal High School

Posted: March 16, 2020

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.

The teacher here have their favorite students and if you are not then good luck.

Strong character that's a joke. The wealthier and most popular kids rule this school.

Leadership at this school is poor. Most in the athletic department. Kids get humiliated by some of the coaches and nothing is done about it. Plus this school mainly focuses on boys sports, so if you are a girl, good luck, because will not develop your skills in anyway.

I guess its a good school and I couldn't really imagine going anywhere else in Baton Rouge. All I can is say is I wish I tried harder in middle school. Also, school lunch is either really good or really bad!

The homework load is very inconsistent, and I either have way too much or basically none at all. The schedule has been changing every year, and this year we only have 4 classes a day. This does help with the homework load, but teachers feel the need to give more homework because we get 2 nights to do it.

There are really good teachers and really bad teachers. The style of teaching varies from teacher to teacher. Some teachers lecture for the whole class and assign homework, while others have a more engaging and interactive class. It just depends on the teacher! Know what they expect from you and how they grade work.

The faculty does work hard to grow and develop the students. The students here respect the teachers and are well-disciplined. We have been taught to be quiet when a teacher is talking and to respect other people's opinions. I guess you can say Episcopal develops integrity, but that's really up to you. If you want to apply yourself and challenge yourself academically, then Episcopal gives you that option. But if you want to slack off, no one's really stopping you. No one's really there to check up on you and make sure you're okay, because the teachers are too worried about the geniuses!!

There really is no leadership at Episcopal, and high school is like a food chain. Seniors are at the top and freshmen are at the bottom. When you're a freshman, you feel scared that you're going to step out of place and get called out. Seniors do not make you feel welcomed and you feel like you re presence is annoying. Seniors don't warmly welcome you into highschool, and your whole year becomes waiting to be a sophomore. Sophmore year up is good though. People have respect for you and no one hates you anymore. If you can get through freshman year, you'll be fine.

If you have ADHD, OCD, etc. then you are put in a box in middle school and it's really hard to get out of it. They put you in lower classes and you're stuck in them all through high school. Even if you strive in your classes, no teacher will recommend you for a higher class and it's hard to appeal for them. If you're not in all AP classes, Episcopal doesn't really care about you. They have special SAT camps for more "diligent" students. And then they have the SAT camps for everybody, and if you weren't making 100s in all your classes in middle school, then it's basically impossible to be one of those super-duper smart and important kids. All I can say is that I feel like Episcopal only works on improving they're brightest students, and kind of leaves the rest of the student body alone.

Bullying's never really been a problem, we mostly just talk about juuling, drugs, drinking, and making the right decisions. I'm sure bullying does exist, but it's definitely not a prominent issue.

Honestly, this highschool puts way too much pressure onto students. Even in my earlier years of high school, they gave me too much homework that I could handle. They say they want students to have a social life and be part of extracurricular activities such as sports or the play, but how could you. Most of the teachers don't know what they are doing most of the times, and lecture maybe the whole time. If you are looking for your child to go to I highly do not recommend going to this private school due to the lack of everything. If your child is a really bright student and has no life except studying then this school is perfect, but if your child wants to have a high school life do not bring them here.

Homework load is too much for students. Just in my first year of high school I'm already completely overwhelmed with work. My friends from other schools don't have as much homework as me ever.

Posted: December 12, 2019

The teachers here want you to succeed, yes, but some just can't teach.

Posted: December 12, 2019

Everyone is exactly the same, almost as if they were just copies from everyone. There is no diversity physically and mentally. Everyone acts alike each other where they all only care about themselves.

Posted: December 12, 2019

There is no "leadership" here. All is based upon popularity. Who is at the top of the food chain. If you aren't, then oh well.

Posted: December 12, 2019

Yeah, no. You either are smart which is good, or you are stupid. There is no in-between. If you have some type of learning disability they will just slap the title of ADHD and put you into lower classes.

Posted: December 12, 2019

Personally, I stay away from any people that could cause anything controversial to happen. Of course, I'm not saying it's the victim's fault, I'm saying that I tried to stay away from that. Honestly, the one good thing I saw was that there was little bullying here may be due to everyone being exactly the same.

We have been very pleased with our first year at Episcopal. The theater department is amazing. My middle schooler enjoys four different arts each year including drama, dance, choral music, and art. We are also very impressed by the World Language department. Overall, the teachers are experienced and the administration runs things very smoothly. The other kids have been welcoming and it was easy to make new friends.

this school is not very great. I have hung out with some of their students and they were overall just mean, inappropriate, and had no manners. I would strongly disagree with sending your child to this school.

My child began school this year at Episcopal and we love everything from the talented teachers to the arts and science programs! They expose the kids to the tenants of r Episcopal Church- love, tolerance, faith in God. If you are looking for a fundamental church based school, do your research (this is not for you.) I can't wait to see how my child continues to blossom here.

Only concerned about their rep. and nothing about their students.

This is the only homosexual lifestyle promoting in Baton Rouge

I loved this school until this year. It isn't even the same institution in any regards. I'm extremely disappointed, and wish I was graduating this year so I could leave already.

I've been attending Episcopal for 10 years, and every year, the quality of education goes down, but the tuition goes up. The school has turned into a money hungry machine that asks for more money and downgrades programs. The education is good, but nothing note-worthy. The arts programs are lacking, and the school does not have any special flare. The school does not encourage any individuality. The students are all similar and of the same background, so if you are similar to them, then you fit in. If not, tough luck. The school is more sports oriented than anything, not giving programs like the robotics club or poetry club any time in the spotlight. The experienced teachers have mostly left and now new, young, inexperienced teachers have taken their place, so the school is full of just average teachers. If you have a lot of money and social status, then this school will be good. If not, it's not a warm fit. This will be my last year, as I'm switching to a more diverse school.

Episcopal has returned to its old Glory Days! Excellent faculty and staff - intelligent, compassionate educators. Top notch facility, results-oriented administration. Practical and purposeful expectations which embrace academic excellence, spirituality and service. Incredible array of top competing athletic teams that are fully resourced, superior arts programs that span acting to creative writing. Fully engaged parent body. Episcopal educates the whole child, physically morally, intellectually and spiritually. It's the best of the best, beyond compare.

We are in our second year at Episcopal, and can't say enough good things about the administration, teachers, staff, and facilities. Endless opportunities for kids and parents to participate in sports and the arts, amazing, cutting-edge curriculum, administration is both approachable and responsive to parent concerns. Wonderful, welcoming atmosphere!

No school is perfect. But I am certainly glad that we have been able to send both of our children to Episcopal. One attended for 13 years (K-12th), and the other has been a student since kindergarten. Current administration is very people-oriented and approachable. Since the new administration arrived, much needed maintenance has been accomplished or is planned for all the campus. Teachers are excellent. Coursework can be difficult, but that is to be expected at a college-prep school. Many opportunities for the students in sports and arts, and academic choices are plentiful. Beautiful facilities. Parental involvement is very strong. And the lunches are delicious! I would not want to send my children anywhere else.

I have been going to Episcopal for four years now, and it is easily the best school in Baton Rouge. Given the fact that Baton Rouge has very poor schools (U-high). The work can be overwhelming, but we have several long breaks during the day to go and visit teachers for help. The people who struggle at school are generally the ones who slack off and refuse to seek help. They really encourage individuality and how one can express his/herself. I think Episcopal is the best school in Baton Rouge, because of its challenging academic programs and its desire for strong leaders at school and away from school.

My family has been involved with Episcopal for seven years and I have seen many improvements in program, both academic and extracurricular during that time. Unfortunately, our level of trust has diminished since the current head of school began his tenure in 2010. Major changes have occurred with little or no communication. Parents are discouraged from open discourse. Financial aid awards were completely botched. I heard that faculty contracts were not received until June. Programs that directly affect students have been slashed in the name of the budget, while many positions have been added in administration, landscaping, etc. My children have always loved the school-hence the high ranking. Personally, I am skeptical of the current priorities and wish we could return to those things that were valued by the previous head: academic attention and excellence, character development, and timely communication.

Episcopal is all right, however, the students are overall extremely snobby and stuck-up. If you don't have the latest phone, shoes, hairstyle, and clothes, you are the runt of their teasing. The wealthier kids "own" the school and make the others feel extremely poor. The homework load is also excessive and unneeded.
