Many of us are parents and we are faced with Challenges everyday! As a parent I believe, parent involement will Boost any childs Learning Ability. We as Adults,as Professional Educators,as Leaders,we need to Turn Around These Low Performing Schools, the Test Scores are very Disturbing! It's time for everyone to Challenge each other to reach the same High Standards for all. There are good students/ educatators at this school however, we need Strong Leadership, Parents need to take a Stand, get involve, Speak up,work with the school system and that's when we will begin to Move In The Right Direction,BY WORKING TOGETHER,we can Significantly reduce these negative behaviors and Disturbing Test Scores.Implement Effective Policies that sends a Message.We all have an Obligation to ensure that our children school is Safe and Productive forEveryone. There Is Still a lot of Hard Work Ahead of us all, and it can be done with Strong Leadership in place!

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.
