My daughter went here for almost 2 years and I thought I was a great school. Teacher involvement with the students and parents is the best I've ever seen. But 1 thing I would have to say is I noticed they didn't do a lot of work in school. Most days my 1st grader would come home with 1 1/2 to 2 hours of homework and they didn't pay too much attention to it just as long as it was done. Since she changed school I've noticed a huge improvement in handwritting and math skills.

My daughter is on her third year at this school and we have had a wonderful experience. She has had two excellent teachers. Her kindergarten teacher has 16 years of teaching experience in kindergarten. The first grade teacher that she had did not have the years behind her, but she is extremely motivated and full of talent. My daughter is in the accelerated reading program for the third year. We love the school and it is the best in our district.

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.
