This School Is Disappointing Pregidous Teachers I Don't Recommend This School For Any Child This School Is Offal.

Pitre has great teachers; however, the school's principal is inconsistent with her discipline. My child has a lot of problems with other students in her class, such as bullying. The principal does little to stop it.

The quality of the academic programs is okay. Some teachers teach better than others,and this will all depend on who your child has. There is no music, or extracurricular activites. You have to apply for art. Level of parent involvement is high, however activity for parent to do is limited.

Pitre' has some good and bad qualities. My son's 4th grade teacher was wonderful. The school is in great need of painting in the building and renovations of the bathrooms. The walls are disguisting and dirty. I would highly recommend a fresh paint job immediately. Hopefully, it is done when school starts. The principal seems to be caring and concerned. I think the environment of the school would be more welcoming if it had some freshing up.

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.
