My son, Evan, attended Combre. The teachers and staff are some of the best people I've been fortunate enough to know. They want children to live up to their potential and equip them with the tools they'll need along the way. My child not only learned life skills that he will carry with him throughout his life. He learned the importance of community, respect, and faith. That first day of school he put his faith in the school to teach him, they never let him down. Mr. Whiney, Ms. Catherine, Ms.Lavine, Ms. Sezar, and everyone else, thank you for helping my child. ~Lori Rose

I am a grandparent to this school's student, Aestassajio Simon. I love the schools attitude towards my grandchild. They are very attentive, patient, peaceful people in so many ways. I just wondered why they aren't included in the BoxTops4Education.com program. I have been saving the boxtops for 8 months now. I was looking forward to supporting my designated school to receive earnings from Bonus Box Tops awarded online, qualifying purchases from the Box Tops Marketplace , books purchased through the Box Tops Reading Room and items purchased off your My Class Essentials registry.

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.
