Teachers friendly and helpful when you ask them for clearification on something.
The support staff strives to keep the environment safe and clean. Students know that unacceptable behavior will not be tolerated. Academics are stressed and the students have an opportunity to learn. They are motivated to learn and keep grades up to acceptable levels. I appreciate the Magnet School and think it is great. The School Board has given monies to provide laptop computors for 6th and 7th graders. This came following the withdrawal of State Funds for the laptops. These laptops are a learning tool for the future of these students. This opportunity is not available anywhere in the Parish. Thank you to the Magnet School Staff and to the School Board for the support of the school. I just wish there would be a Magnet High School for the Parish. Close Quote
