Poor communication between teachers and parents. I've never seen so many 'Graded' homework papers, and very few tests. Looking for a new school.

The teachers are caring and helpful to the students and families. The Math and Reading programs are some of the best.

The iLEAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Louisiana.
