For the student who is not into the social side of high school (sports, clubs, proms, etc.) and likes a non-traditional setting, this is a fantastic alternative which gives them a broader base than traditional high school. The staff there is phenomenal--very proactive on behalf of their students--and it's a more mature environment. The kids that go to school there are more into the learning aspect than the social side. I think it's for a certain type of student but it really served my son quite well. Very pleased with the atmosphere and attitude. Graduating with an Associates Degree as well as a high school diploma doesn't hurt either. :)

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.

About the tests

In 2011-2012 Louisiana used the End-Of-Course (EOC) tests to test grade high school students in English 2, biology 1, algebra 1 and geometry. The EOC is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Louisiana. The EOC is a high school graduation requirement. The goal is for all students to score at or above basic on the test.
