My kids just transferred to this school aug. 08 and we absolutely love it. They love the staff and I do also. This school keeps the parents interacting and you always know what is going on ahead of time. Dolphins are on the ball!!

The administration is terrible and treats their staff with much disrespect. There is absolutely no support reguarding discipline and the students are allowed to disrespect teachers and get away with it. I do not recommend sending your child to this school, because of the administration. However, the teachers are great and really seem to care for their students.

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.
