Genuinely care for students and faculty. Never a complaint or feeling of disgruntalness from students or other wise. Teachers and other staff seem to be into the job for more than just a pay check.

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.
