I went to Paul Breaux Middle to finish my french immersion which I've completed for 9 years, and got my two college credits for. This school was fun and amazing, it helped me find who i really am and also connect with great people. I would recommend this school to many people because it's an immersion and english school. French, English and Spanish is available to learn.

This school was an okay experience. Most of the teachers were nice but most of the students that weren't in gifted or honors were really bad and it made the school bad. The location of the school was also bad and made it feel unsafe. The school itself could also use some updating because it was so old.

As a current gifted student here most of the teachers are really great. The administration is a little bit questionable. The gifted enviroment is very positive. The Spanish immersion and regular Ed environments are a little questionable though. Most of the French teachers have like no filter though.

School is horrible. Worst place I've ever been. I am only here because of the French program. If not I would have been long gone. Please don't send your kid here.
