Patrick F. Taylor Science & Technology Academy is a comprehensive college preparatory magnet school.[3] In August 2004, the school opened with 7th and 8th grades and has grown to include 6th through 12th grades in recent years.
PFTSTA is located in Avondale, Louisiana. Named after Patrick F. Taylor, this Sci-tech school currently has grades 6-12. The students are on a block schedule, four separate 90 minute (an hour and a half) courses a day that changes the following semester. The school campus is now located in a new facility on the Westbank in Avondale by the Alario Center, and each student is issued a school laptop on which to do classwork, projects, and homework. The school's current principal is Shawn Rome.
