It's a great school in a great community! I couldn't have asked for a better school for my children. This school is one of the main reasons I move to this area.

Blanchard Elementary School is one of the best schools in this area. The teachers, parents, and students work together to achieve the highest learning possible. I love this school and the people in the Blanchard community. The parents and grandparents work closely with the school. It is a great place to work - A five star school!

I am a grandparent and I think the school is fantastic. They try to involve the entire family and the community.

This is a great school. As a parent of a developmentaly challenged seven year old they have done an excellent job with him, giving him every chance and then some to help him in this environment.

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.
