wonderful school, with professional,caring teachers
—Submitted by a parent


Posted November 5, 2003

My son started 4th grade this year and was not off to a good start. After a few weeks, the principal, his teacher, and after school tutoring was available to his use. The principal at this school is so sincere in her concern for all students under her supervision. When this lady was given the job of principal, they made the right choice.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Louisiana used the Louisiana Educational Assessment Program for the 21st Century (LEAP 21) to assess students in grades 4 and 8 in math, English language arts, science and social studies. The LEAP 21 is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Louisiana. The goal is for all students to score at or above basic on the test.
