My two boys and I recently moved to Ascension Parish going on two months now! We had began the year in Tangipahoa Parish (which is also a great school district) However; it doesn't follow the Common Core curriculum. My five year old is in love with his new school! I'd be LIEING if I didn't say he was a little bit overwhelmed coming into a different town, different teacher, new rules, & new curriculum... But in Kindergarten they don't overload your child with homework, they actually work WITH your child, yes.... Real teaching reinforced by our help as parents, this is an amazing school! Close Quote
