g.t. woods elementary is doing a wonderful job in academic programs and both iowa/ileap test scores. our school is rated one of the top scoring schools in the parish. hats off to our wonderful teachers, assistants, and faculty/staff. our children are pushed towards excellence, and are giving 110 percent each day. we also have the blessed opportunity to work with a new principal this year named Ms. Maiden. we would like to welcome her to our school, and encourage her to keep encouraging us towards excellence as Mrs. Soniat did.

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.
