GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I hope this review helps a parent make an informed decision/helps the school identify some areas for professional development. My child attended Shenandoah for 5th grade, and it was terrible. They tolerate bullying and will coerce your child into saying they provoked it. My child got hurt several times, and I wasn't contacted. One of my child's teachers discussed with the kids how she had two moms growing up; I don't have a problem with this, but I know some parents that would not be happy about that. My child's teacher Dana Morgan, was the most unprofessional/petty teacher I've ever met and shouldn't be instructing elementary-aged children. Her inability to communicate with parents is unacceptable, and she doesn't respond to messages or emails. Avoid the teacher or the school altogether, especially if your child has issues with bullies or if you want to be notified when they get hurt at school. One positive note: the lady at the front desk is always helpful and nice.

Teachers love the students and are involved in their leaning abilities. I am a former student of Shenandoah. I loved my teachers especially Kathrin McGregor. The teachers also are involved with students personal life. They love their students and prepare them for challenges in life

Great public neighborhood school. PTA is a serious deal but that what helps making the school so special and competitive with private schools in Baton Rouge area. Their gifted & talented program is amazing thanks to their amazing teacher! I wish all classes would be as interactive and exciting.
