    This school is great, but there are issues. My main issue is if you transfer from a regular public…read moreschool, it is extremely difficult to catch up. Work that would have been an A plus at the regular school becomes a B- or lower. It takes a toll on mental health for sure because just imagine excelling at your old school but then it gets flipped upside down that quick. Quite pathetic.

    I love Patrick Taylor!…read more Preface, my children are 1000X more intelligent than I am. I never got Bs much less A's ever. This is one of the rare schools in the NOLA area that consistently score A+ overall. To get here, the kids have to test in. That alone is scary intimidating for an adult, much less a 12yr old child. Basically the best of the best come here. Thankfully one of my girls (hopefully both) attends this school and it is by far the best decision her Mother and I have made. My children have attended private school their entire lives , not because the teachers are of better quality, or the school building is, but because the parents are more invested in their children's education. Better parents, better kids. In my opinion. Better kids means less disruption and other negative behaviors in school. Private schools don't need to keep bad kids in school because there is typically a waiting list to get in from parents that are fortunate enough to be able to afford the ski high tuition. Patrick Taylor Science and Technology Academy has the same parent student standards. There is no messing around here. The difference is that is is a public school. A school I am already paying for. Bonus! The school is definitely a newer building. My first impression was it reminded me of the Disney High School Musical school. Super modern, huge open spaces, oozing high tech everywhere. School spirit and art hanging. It kind of reminds me of my years in high school but without the danger and bullying. Oh and on that. All the kids here have a 3.5 minimum average. All of them are super smart. And I would say the majority, with all due respect, are nerds. Wonderful, beautiful , lovely nerds. There is pocket protectors all over the place. Thick glasses, slacks pulled up too high and raging acne and I don't see any kind of bullying, teasing or nothing. These children are awesome!! I try and make as many parent events as possible, talent shows, teacher meetings, lunch with Dads and all and I absolutely love this school and how the kids of all races and sizes interact with each other. I find my daughter excelling and growing academically and socially at an amazing pace. I cant help her with her homework anymore. They are advanced big time. The children that graduate from here, ALWAYS get a Taylor grant. I know a child graduating this year and will attend Loyola ...full ride. That's what they do at this school. Set kids up for success. Not for the stupid annual year end testing. If you have the means , and maybe even think your child is smart, test in here or a sister A+ school.

    Amazing teachers & excellent staff. LOVE my VOL family!! I have the best coworkers ever!!read more

    Its a Catholic private school, and from what I been told, one of the better/ cheaper ones on the…read morewestbank. I have my two daughters come here since pre K 3, they love it, and I like it. We know a lot of the other familys now that they been in the system for so long. So its a comfort thing. There is a new big gym lovingly called "The Deuce" because it is the second version of the bldg. Not cause it looks like a deuce. Like most private schools, it is busting at the seams with attendance. Every year the classes get bigger and the parking and pick up and drop off get crazier. This school's big fund raiser event is called Cajun Fest. Like other schools fairs, they will have a few local favorites like Chee Wees or Molly Ringwalds or Amanda Shaw along with the in-school in-parish band. Then there is all the cookie dough sales, the Worlds Finest Chocolate sale, endless Weekly Reader book fairs and something else I cant remember. Only thing they haven't done that I used to sell was fruit cakes. I actually liked them. But I digress. This school isn't really any better than others I have seen in the same grades, what I am paying for is better parents. Not teachers. Parents. Parent teacher nights here are waiting in line outside the classroom , parking lots are full. Parent teacher nights at a equivalent public school, those are typically empty. Better parents mean better students. Teachers are not supposed to raise your kids, only teach. That is why I break off $800 in my butt every month to ensure they get the best education without distraction, without fear of a crazy pajama wearing momma come in shooting because the teacher sent a note home that her child should take a bath and brush her teeth one day. I do enjoy this school and attending the church and all events like the annual fish fry during lent. Its a great opportunity to reconnect with those we only see in the gym and dropping off in the car pool line. All the teachers and the principal are very nice and somehow, know each of the students name. I seen it and I don't know how they do it. They do care here.
