re: Questions on Central Private School

Um, no. Spare me the lecture on a topic that you know nothing about. My daughter has a chronic genetic immune deficiency. The school systems we approached refused to understand the condition, despite our best efforts to inform them. We tried to conference in her specialists. All we wanted was notice when a flu, or strep, or any other significant illness was going around. Nope...they wouldn't budge. The time we spent dealing with the public schools on such a simple request was ridiculous. It simply isn't worth going through that over and over again. Not when the private schools have been overwhelmingly accommodating in comparison.

Well jeez that's a little different then

I could see that being a problem. At any large schools there is going to be flu or strep just about every day. Especially from fall to spring.

I grew up there, and moved back there after college. I don't understand the over-the-top hatred for it. It's boring, sure, but some of you get really riled up about places where other people live.

I actually taught in Central for a little while. As you are new to the "area", it says you are from England?, you will find in the central school system that they are very helpful and nice folks. I do not know of any school in Louisiana that would refuse to coordinate with you when flu is going around.
Services must be provided even in a private setting. The local school district provides them when the private school cannot. I teach resource at 2 private schools for the public school district. I think tank is the arrangement in central right now. It can be added into her service plan or IEP, if you go public, that the school will alert you when known illnesses like flu are prevalent in the school. They can do this without divulging personal info about other students by simply not naming individual children.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

None of those teachers are certified. Maybe a few but not most.i don't think they will help your daughter.
The lower elementary is pretty good. Not sure how the upper elementary is these days. Very small class sizes.
I don't know how the highschool is now. The principal when I was there was fired, and the replacement was fired last year. Don't know who runs it now.
When I was there, the highschool was pretty easy. The same teachers teach both honors and regular classes. My regular English class was doing more work than the 8 teacher pets in the honors.
It is a friendly environment. Facilities aren't great though.
Sorry for being all over the place in my post.
Also for what it's worth, I graduated with a 3.5 there and currently have a 3.2 in college. You should bite the bullet and send your daughter across town and with a more expensive tuition, or send her to the central public school, if you are in central.
Good luck to yall.

Is it 'a segregation academy?
Posted on 2/8/15 at 6:44 pm to JEAUXBLEAUX
There are black kids there now.
But central as a city is majority white and on top of that, tuition is around 4500 dollars. So the relatively speaking few black households look at school choice, they choose the free public school which is now tops in the state.
Honestly it was "segregated" because of the horrible condition and bussing going on at central high. Now that central is its own school district and thriving, central private has had financial problems.

Totally understand your concern. Having said that, you might be pleasantly surprised at how the Central school district handles it vs. elsewhere, and it would be worth talking to the administration about it before going the private school route. I can imagine how larger school districts treated the situation. There are layers upon layers of bureaucracy and incompetence at each layer. If your daughter has a rare condition, it probably wasn't written in a manual or handbook somewhere, and bureaucrats are lost without printed words in a handbook.

Yeah he needs to send her to Central High.
My SO assists in care for a special needs girl that goes to school in the Zachary school system and she receives great care.
Central Is similar size and academic on paper as Zachary

My prediction is you'll end up home-schooling her.

f she can't handle a normal high school setting because of the size, she will freak in college. It would be better to get her past that now instead of when it costs thousands of dollars
lsu will be pleasant for her...

My wife graduated from CP and her mom has taught there a long time. She breezed through LSU with minimal studying and also has a masters so Id say she got a good education there

If central is 90% white, then I'm 240% white.

I've heard more negative things than positive. Try for the lab school. Decently prices and great education
Posted on 2/8/15 at 8:12 pm to The Big Spliff
Great school
Low student to teacher ratio
Close-knit
Good sports teams
I think your daughter would love it. Attendance is going back up as well and it's not closing.

Graduated there in mid 2000s. Prepared me and my friends for college extremely well. Between us there are a doctor, four engineers, a lawyer, multiple MBAs.
School has gone downhill a bit I've heard. Elementary school is still top notch for the area though.

We get real time updates on all issues from our kids school both email and text regardless of the situation be it medical, security, travel or that one building heater was down for a few hours. It is easy in this day and age for communication on any issue provided the personnel wants to do it.
