What school district is Louisiana School For Math Science & The Arts part of?
We have been very disappointed in the lack of engagement and lack of effective teaching by many of the faculty. The administration is unresponsive to concerns and unwilling to reconsider the school''s methods. Students are essentially made to teach themselves and each other. The success of LSMSA lies in its students, not the teachers or administrators. Many faculty and Academic dean seem more concerned with school scores and ranking than the students'' well-being. Students are pushed to the brink of physical exhaustion doing unnecessarily large amounts of homework and self-taught coursework and many students'' mental health is suffering as well. Rather than engaging students and allowing them to expand their minds, they are methodically regurgitating information and moving through the workload at a grueling pace that does nothing to truly enhance their education. LSMSA could be a beacon in Louisiana''s educational system if only the school actually cared about the students rather than ACT scores or other accolades.
