Sounds about right, but with Central's recent departure from the EBRP system, look for them to be right there!!!!!!

The class sizes in public school are smaller than private. Have you seen the class sizes at St. George? Last I heard it was close to 32 per class for K and 1st grade.

you better check again, the State Diocese and individual school charters have strict limits on class sizes and student teacher ratios and 32:1 is way over the max. It is usually 26:1 is the absolute maximum allowed in a catholic school

I'm from Denham. Graduated in 06. Went to school in LP all of my life, and I had a few teachers that were terrible and couldn't teach the subject they were supposed to teach. Chemistry, physics, algebra 2. So when I got to LSU it was like starting from scratch.

The new Central system limits class size to no more than 25.................

Did anyone here go to a single gender and a coed school?

Denham Springs. I can't say that all of my teachers were worthless, because I had a few that were good at what they did.

sorry supah, you're wrong here. St Jude is right at 32 and I believe St George is about the same. It is one of the drawbacks of the Private Schools.
However, that is 32 kids who are usually well behaved and focused, so it works out a little better.

You right, but as a whole, the only major problem with DS is the administration. When I was at Denham, they had two families running the school board and DSHS/DSFH. The Waxes and the Popes. So it was almost like a monopoly and if you ever had a problem in school, you were screwed because the school board would cover it up.
