My daughter has been at this school for the second year. She is learning a lot. I am pleased with the curriculum that she will embark on this year. She likes the school a lot. I plan on her completeing elementary there. I would recommend this school to any parent looking for a school for their child.

White Hills Elementary is a horrible school, the teachers have no control over the students. They do not offer any extracurricular activities and they do not take the children fieldtrips.

White Hills was a nightmare for both me and my children. For all the students waiting to be picked up by their parents in the car pool line there is only 1 adult there to watch them. And all that person does is scream and hollar at the children. In the morning for breakfast in the cafeteria their is only 1 adult watching the children. My children attended there and didn't learn anything. When visiting the classroom I could see why because it was total chaos. The principal is very rude and unattentive to any of your concerns. My children were pulled from their and are now in a much better school. I would not recommend this school to any parent.

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.
