I think this school is great! They have some dedicated teachers and the principal looks out for the kids. There are a lot of incentives programs and activities for the students but the parental involvement could be better. With out the assistance of the parents to help with the programs and activities they may have to take them away.

What a difference a few years makes.This school is not what it use to be.The new principle has somehow changed the things that made this school great.There is a dreary look to this school now.

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.
