This is a great schol with a dedicated faculty and staff and supportive administration. There are high expectations for students to succeed and parental participation is on the rise. There are many positive behavior incentives as well. Bayou Lacombe is a small, community school that is doing a great job.

This a school with great teachers and staff, active parents and wonderful students. It has a low student-teacher ratio; my son was one of 12 in his class this year and had a great experience. The school is a great reflection of the small, diverse, close-knit community that it's in. They offer a wonderful after school program, there are gifted classes, music programs, and counseling for students who need it, just to name a few benefits of the school. They go above and beyond to meet the needs of every student. The principal is very open and easy to contact.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Louisiana used the Louisiana Educational Assessment Program for the 21st Century (LEAP 21) to assess students in grades 4 and 8 in math, English language arts, science and social studies. The LEAP 21 is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Louisiana. The goal is for all students to score at or above basic on the test.
