my grandson is in this school and we are very happy with the staff. More problem is solve before you heard about them. Teacher and student have a great one on one in his classes.

I heard alot of bad things about this school prior to my child attending, and I am sad to say that all of it was true! I am extremely disappointed in the leaders of this school; namely the prinicipal who does not return the phone calls of parents. Conflict resolution is yet to be seen, and when he says we will investigate a matter-it remains unresolved! I was told that the teachers are concerned and care about the students, it should be said that a select few do.

This school has a lot of good christian instructors. Great Leadership qualities of the entire staff. Patience is truly a virtue when it comes to kids. Last but not least, the Administration staff headed by Principal Morris is incredible has open eyes for many students.

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.
