"This school only caters to one type of student. Unfortunately, if you're not that type, you'll have trouble succeeding at PFTSTA. As a student, I felt that I wasn't allowed to be just that -- a student. In the 7th grade they expected us to be adults and treated us like we were dumb if we showed any sort of a childlike personality. The teachers and administrators were not open to every type of person. My faith was constantly being tested and I actually had a faculty member get very angry at my mother and I because I was too shy. There are a ton of students and parents who love this school and I'm sure it opens up many doors academically. But please keep in mind that schools are about more than just academics."

"I attend Patrick F Taylor, I'm in 8th. I enjoy Patrick Taylor a lot. I have many friends and not just in my grade but others above and below me. I have transportation from my neighborhood, across the Huey P Long Bridge, to my Eastbank school. Patrick Taylor is a regional school so it accepts students from the East and West bank. In relation to other schools I am able to attend, I believe that Patrick Taylor is the better school for me because I am a very capable student, but unlike other students in my parish that are capable and attend magnet schools, they don t apply themselves and put forth as much effort as I do. Patrick Taylor provides a challenge for me, one that will challenge me to go beyond just having potential. When I accomplish goals, I feel very satisfied, but nevertheless, I strive to do better."

"I sort of like PFTSTA, because the homework level is medium/low, and isn't overly easy or overly hard. I like that we get laptops, but after all, we do go to a 'science and technology' academy. Can't they get more hi-tech computers? These computers are more trouble than they are worth."

"As one of the first teachers at Taylor, I've been able to watch it grow and improve during its few years of existence. The students and teachers work hard to live up to the high expectations and standards that have become the norm at Taylor - we strive to do our best on a daily basis. Overall, the atmosphere is encouraging and supportive. A shared goal of our faculty is to provide our students with an education that will help them develop into capable, confident, and responsible young adults. It has been an honor and a pleasure teaching at Taylor!"
