[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TM Landry is founded and still run today by a couple who started a school for AA kids who they felt had true potential but were trouble makers / were unlikely to be successful.

Their model is to take in a small number of kids but ensure their success. Their class size is about 10-12 students a year but they have a 100% college admission and 100% college graduation rate. Their graduates have to come back during their college years and mentor the upcoming classes.[/quote]

Is this a private, charter, application school, or what?  Their Facebook page has videos with acceptances to Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth, Wesleyan, Bowdoin, etc.—really impressive.  Also I’m sure these schools don’t get many applicants from small towns in Louisiana, so these certainly students bring geographic diversity in addition to working hard. [/quote]

It is a private school but registration is $500 and tuition is $500 a year - so an affordable private for families who are committed and willing to work hard to support their student's success but who don't have the money for other options . I don't know how they actually fund the school as 142 students at $500 / yr isn't going to go too far.

Many of the kids come from single parent homes with the parent working minimum wage or low income jobs trying to keep a roof over their families head.[/quote]
