The capital of Louisiana has much to offer for academics, thanks to big universities like LSU and Louisiana Tech, among other institutions of higher learning. But when it comes to those important years leading up to college, East Baton Rouge Parish also has a phenomenal school system that seeks to shape children into hardworking co-eds.
The East Baton Rouge Parish School System is top notch, with eight US Blue Ribbon Schools. For those unaware of the honor, the Blue Ribbons are awarded to schools that achieve high levels or performance that contain a large number of disadvantaged students, whether it is financially or physically. In fact, the Blue Ribbon Award is the highest award a school can obtain. The eligible schools are those with students up to 8th grade.
If you are a Baton Rouge resident currently, you can check out the EBPSS website for interactive peeks into the school system, such as educational centers, a calendar, and databases. If you are moving to Baton Rouge, you’ll be enrolled and exposed to online content for students, parents, and staff within the website, including a digitalized copy of the Student Rights & Responsibilities. The Baton Rouge movers wish you luck in your upcoming school year. Here’s to another year of Blue Ribbon students, grades, and test scores!
