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.

Leadership is TERRIBLE. Principle Jones should be ashamed of herself. It all starts at the top, the disruption and disrespect. I'm glad I transferred my daughter out of this school. Jefferson Parish needs to clean house!!
