Tracing its roots back to the now-defunct Hammond Junior College in the 1920s, Southeastern Louisiana University has grown into one of the state’s largest institutions and an academic hub for the Florida parishes. The university’s annual Fanfare celebration is a major cultural event for the area, a month-long event that hosts artists, musicians, exhibits, films, theater productions, and more every fall, centered at the school’s historic Columbia Theatre downtown. The Southeastern campus sits just a few blocks north of Downtown Hammond, allowing you to easily walk over during your downtime. Stop in for breakfast at Lee’s Diner, dig into some crab legs at Cate Street Seafood Station, or grab a drink after hours with friends at the Crescent Bar. New Orleans is only an hour’s drive away, and you can even hop aboard the legendary City of New Orleans Amtrak train from Hammond Station and visit the historic city by rail.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
