Posted October 29, 2012

This is a failing "F" rated school and I can see why. My child only attended for a week and that was too long. The students have no books, there is no communication to the parents, the school day is 30 minutes shorter than other schools in the area. In addition to the school day being shorter, the first 30 minutes of school is breakfast time. The school day also ends early on Fridays for Professional Development. The kids they service really need their day to be spent receiving instruction. The learning curriculum is minimal at best. They are doing a disservice to any children they serve. I'm sure there are a few good teachers in the bunch, but overall it's seriously lacking. This is a school with a high turnover rate of faculty/staff.

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.
