Going to Louise S. McGehee School is one of the best choices I have ever made. Its community harbors respect and inclusivity. As opposed to being lectured, students are given and opinion on what they want to learn and the opportunity and resources to do so. As opposed to a teacher-student power shift, Mcgehee felt like a place for learners. Experienced learners helping others. Beliefs, ideas, and voices were heard and respected by everyone. The students, faculty, and administration all followed the Honor Code greatly. There ... read more

McGehee has been a wonderful school for our daughter. The academics are strong and we are very impressed by what she is learning and the opportunities she has to explore deeply into areas of interest. But, we are even more impressed with the way that McGehee focuses so strongly on giving the girls confidence, resilience, and leadership skills. Before looking at McGehee, I was not open to the idea of an all-girls school, but I am so happy that we took the time to explore this school and what it offers because my daughter is t... read more

McGehee's Honor Code truly lays the foundation for a community of unique, independent girls who follow rules and instruction because of what's right. Each student is her own individual person and is able to build her own unique style, aspirations, and interests. The Honor Code allows for a mutual respect between students and teachers, which creates a calm environment in the classroom that makes learning much easier. I think there are many great things about the community at McGehee that most students don't realize or take fo... read more

McGehee is amazing and the only place we could imagine sending our daughter in New Orleans. The girls who are at McGehee are extraordinary confident, smart, kind, and ready to tackle the world. In lower school the girls study everything from Shakespeare (at 7 my daughter could read elementary versions of Hamlet, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, Macbeth, etc.), engineering, Louisiana history, basic economics, French, dance, soccer, early algebra, and so much more. The teachers and administration at McGehee are the best we have ... read more

This school takes a young girl and produces an well-educated, poised, self-confident young woman who knows her mind and who will excel in college. Unlike other schools in New Orleans, McGehee specifically focuses on teaching 21st century learning skills such as communication, collaboration and creativity, rather than a large quantity of AP classes. In this way, I think the graduates are more prepared for life and education beyond high school and not just getting a leg up on the college classes they will take.
