the school is gettig better
—Submitted by a parent


Posted August 9, 2005

My child attended here beginning with pre-k in 2001. I was OK through kindergarten but went downhill quickly after that in 2003 when she went to 1st grade. My child had 2 teachers and then I had to tell the princepal I wanted her moved due to an unstructured class. In 2nd grade her teacher was gone more than she was there. It's hard to keep your child up with other children if the teacher doesn't show up! Thank goodness we moved to Bossier Parish. This school has a long way to go if it wants to even stay average. In two words...not good!

About the tests

The iLEAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Louisiana.
