I dont think its a good school at all. My children are having problems with the bus drivers who are very rude to them and they grab them by the arm and throw them in the seats. And the students takes my childs stuff. I will try to contact thier teachers and thier teachers will not contact me back. I will go up there and try to talk to the teachers and the pay me no attention. I am one out of many parents who arent happy with our child going to this school. That is why i am moving so they can go to a better school that actually cares and are the for the students and parents.

I have two children in this school and I have to say that everyone from the teachers to the ladies in the office are always friendly and helpful. My children also like going to school here and are doing well in their studies.

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.
