I went to this school, I found it full of discrimination (mostly religious discrimination) and they didn't take students seriously. Education is sub par, library content is highly limited and they were way behind in technology. Sadly, this is the only public school for junior high students and all the private schools in the Breaux Bridge area are Christian based. My child will be home schooled due to the lack of education in the Breaux Bridge public school system.

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.
