Fifth Ward is a school that puts students first. They make sure the children get full access to books, computers, use online for some of their work. The teachers praise the children and rncourage them to do their best. Yes uniforms are apart of the dress code,but learning is priority. They know that children learn best when they are happy. It is a true school rxperience for parents and children. The Principal is a strong leader who expectthe best of teachers, parents, and children. She gives 100+ to her job.

On a scale of 1-10, I would give Fifth Ward Elementary a 10. They care about the children. They encourage the students and parents to do their best. All children are treated equally. I've attended many of their school activities and observed the warm welcome every one recieves. They are more focused on children learning. They use learning activities to maintain good behavior. The children are happy and happy children are easy to work with.

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.
