I can’t speak for Shreveport’s schools but I know many bossier schools have either gotten updates or brand new schools built.

Airline just rebuilt two of its wings brand new, opened this year. Three story buildings.

Parkway got a brand new school built in like 2010

Benton High School is about to be built a brand new school.

Multiple brand new elementary schools built within the last decade.

I think Bossier High is about to get a revamp on its campus.

Pretty much every classroom in the Parish has a smartboard. Pretty much all students have laptops.

The only bad part about it is demos are starting to shift big time.

For example, my mom teaches at Stockwell Elem. she’s been teaching there since 1996. Starting in ‘96 it was probably a 95% White school. It was pretty much always a blue ribbon school, some of the highest marks in the state for public schools. But those houses around the school are starting to get old and starting to lose value and they started busing in kids from the Meadowview district to Stockwell. Meadowview is a school about five minutes away and it’s in the middle of the hood. They started doing this about 7-8 years ago, now the school is probably 70-30 or maybe 60-40 white to minority.

Funny that their scores are dropping even though they’re still keeping high marks. And they’re starting to have huge discipline problems.

Most of the white people are moving to Benton districts or nice Shreveport areas.
