Don't waste a year of your child(ren) education at this school. It was mismanaged, I cannot recall how many different teachers that my daughter had during the course of the 06-07 school year. But I think it was about four or five teacher changes. Now I don't know if I fault the teachers because the kids were unruly and disrespectful. No art programs of any kind are available although for the next school year they are supposed to be. But in all fairness I would like to mention that this was the first year the school was in operation so hopefully it will improve. On the other hand while the improvements are in the plans the kids are the ones suffering from a substandard education.

About the tests

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