You make a good point, but what happens to kids (like my son, who attends Shenandoah) when he gets to middle school? There isn't a decent middle school in the entire parish. My biggest problem is the busing that occurs, shipping in kids from other parts of the parish. In my opinion, the only kids who should be going to my neighborhood school are kids who live in my neighborhood. That's why I'm in favor of St. George.

yeah youre just going to have to nut the frick up and pay for private school starting in middle school or def in high school if he cant get into one of the better magnets.

Oh, I have no problem sending him to private. My daughter went to private before eventually graduating from Denham. However, St. George gives me another option other than private.
The superintendent is already blaming the low scores on the flooding. Funny how Livingston and Central did just fine

If Ascension can maintain their test scores despite hot-cotting the schools due to a lack of facilities post-flood then EBR has no fricking excuse.
Posted on 7/13/17 at 10:17 am to I am GLORIOUS
yeah agreed. Sounds like your son is young and still could heavily benefit from a st. george incorporation if it was formed within the next year or two. Give it another 2-3yrs to get things straight.
No way i'd let my kids go to public schools in EBR unless it was BRHS or maybe that new Lee High (havent heard much about it though).

Maybe the EBRPSS can rename a school " Alton Sterling Elementary School ".
There they can be taught carjacking, drug dealing, and assault. Advanced students can receive weapons training and victim signaling. Just what we need.

LEAP is a state test...
but if I had to guess if we stacked them up other stat testing. We'd rank somewhere between 48-50

Some of Livingston's schools though experienced drops in scores from 2016 to 2017. It's tough to prove that the floods didn't have an impact.

They still finished pretty high. The superintendent acts like EBR was the only school system affected by the flood.

And Baker is one of the lowest.
I would guess their schools and their students aren't as good as Zachary's.
But who is kidding who, we know that certain students bring the scores down and there are more of them in some areas than there are in others.
Just look at EBR as a whole.
We have districts trying to separate from the student body at large. Examples of this are Zachary, Baker, Central, private schools and charter schools.
But even inside the EBR System you have students separated from other students at magnet schools and in gifted schools. These parents are no different than parents in Central, Baker, Zachary or wherever. They want their kids taught, they want them safe, and they want them away from gangs, thugs, etc.
Under the current system in EBR Parish people with money, people with smart kids, and people who live in ISDs aren't doing bad. The problem is kids who aren't smart, who aren't gifted, who aren't of means and who aren't of means; they have no choices and are stuck. Either that or their parents have to sacrifice a ton to send them to private schools.
As you point out, an ISD is no magic cure if the schools are poor, and the students aren't motivated and ready to learn, but to many in SG who are frustrated; what do you tell them as they watch Central and Zachary schools improve while Woodlawn High and others in their areas flounder?

More like all the kids belonging to PARENTS, that don't give a rats' arse, go there ! Closely followed in a rapid downward spiral of admins that don't care OR their hands are tied regarding discipline...then teachers that don't care because of undisciplined students,no support from admins. etc. till they just go thru the motions. Then comes the maintenance staff, which picks up on the overall "let's just survive today,this week,this semester,this year....UNTIL, you quite predictably get = FAILED SCHOOL SYSTEM !

Times have not changed, we faced the same issues over twenty years ago. After Shenandoah, we tried the gifted route, we put our kids on busses early in the morning and they had a long day, but they learned. Things got a little too "dicey" if you know what I mean, and we pulled our kids out of public school and put them in private schools.
This was in the early and mid 90s. Interesting that you have the same dilemma we had.
BTW, I support SG too, not the city so much as the ISD.

Not having 10k a year to send your kid to private school = don't give a rats' arse?

Move and send your kid to a school worth a crap if you can't afford private.

Why does Woodlawn High score so low?
What about Woodlawn Middle and SE Middle. How are their scores?
Sure you can cherry pick a few elementary schools, but by and large the public schools fall short across the board. People see this and either go private, or they move to another parish unless they are lucky and get into a good, magnet school.
If it weren't the case areas would be growing faster.
