[edit] Academics
For all that Baton Rouge Magnet is the third (or second, after the devastation of Ben Franklin by Katrina) highest testing school in Louisiana, there is precious little information to go on. I suggest that we focus more on the educational aspect of the school. GenericGabriel 15:12, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cut-and-paste
The history section of the article is virtually a direct cut-and-paste from the school's website. I'll try to rewrite it whenever I can, but if someone gets to it first, that'd be great too. Just make sure it's completely in your words if you want to write it.--Nibblesnbits 06:23, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Athletics
We need to at least explain what the Ford Cup is instead of just saying that it was once the Picadilly cup.--Nibblesnbits 06:23, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rivalries
Caddo Magnet is not a particularly big rival of the school. I think we should also include athletic rivals and such.--Nibblesnbits 06:23, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- On the contrary, Caddo is the rival of Baton Rouge High when it comes to academics, especially after the devastation wreaked upon New Orleans' Benjamin Franklin Magnet by Katrina.GenericGabriel 01:56, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Notable Alumni
There're a lot more than Jindal--Nibblesnbits 06:23, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Jay Dardenne is NOT an alumnus of Baton Rouge Magnet High School, since he graduated in 1972. Prior to the 1977-78 school year the facility was known simply as Baton Rouge High School, as it did not have a magnet program.
