I don't feel that my children are growing at Huddle Elementary. They are very smart, however they are not being taught material that's on their grade level. I am afraid that when my kids enroll in another school,they will have to work extra hard.

My daughter has been going to this school for two years and she loves her teachers. They try to have a good relationship with students and will inform you about the area in studies your child needs help in by writing, calling, or house visits if necessary. I would love to give the school a 10 but it only goes to a 5.

About the tests

In 2010-2011 Louisiana used the integrated Louisiana Educational Assessment Program (iLEAP) to assess students in grades 3, 5, 6, and 7 in math, English language arts, science, and social studies. The iLEAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Louisiana.
