Generally agree with this but I found myself approaching Krotz Springs at around 60 mph. Must have been spacing out and when I realized everyone else was slowing down, I jammed the brakes to a super safe 32!

I work with a guy who went there in the 2000’s and he said then it was just a small country school.. now it has overcrowded classroom trailers all around campus, metal detectors at the doors and regular drug raids.. I’m just wondering if the ot knows where it went wrong?
He actually used to teach there right after college before he started working where I work and said he would regularly have to break up dice games in the middle of class. The last straw for him was when he handed out punish work to a student and somehow it got dropped while passing it to him. The student looks at him and says “you think I’m going to pick that up? I’m not your fricking dog”
Where did things go wrong?
First, Pointe Coupee Central High School closed down so all of those kids when to Livonia.
Second.....they opened a new Magnet school in the former Central High School building. The new magnet high school is taking the remaining white kids away from Livonia.
That new magnet school is also doing a number on False River Academy's enrollment too.

I dont know False River Academy aint nothing to brag about. FRA has the feel of that school where all the teachers are most certainly banging a student or two. CHPCS is their best option probably
Weird things going down in Pointe Coupee over the last decade.
- The new white Superintendent has family connections to Pointe Coupee and Avoyelles. While he can be a jerk, he's actually competent.
- The new STEM Magnet School is open and seems to be finding a lot of white students to fill their classrooms. That probably comes at the expense of FRA and Livonia. The STEM academy is actually a pretty decent school.
- False River Academy (FRA), one of the last remaining segregation academies in the country, is struggling to keep their doors open. They may limp along another year or two. It's not as good as Catholic and is not as cheap as the STEM academy. I don't know why it still exists.
- CHSPC is bursting at the seams and is about start a multi-million dollar expansion. It's historically where the "rich kids" (at least by Pointe Coupee standards) go to school. It's very average academically but seems to be growing. They've never had to try very hard to be more attractive to parents than the public schools or False River Academy. I guess they are actually trying now?
- Livonia High School is now ghetto. That started when Central High School shut down. It's gotten worse since the STEM academy attracted all of the brighter students away. It used to be "Livonia" kids, but now it's all kids in the parish that couldn't get itno STEM. They've lost a lot of their best students and faculty over the years.
- The new Audubon Bridge makes it easy for people with jobs at Cajun or in New Roads to relocate their families to Zachary or West Feliciana - both of which have historically better public schools. Pointe Coupee's population is mostly stagnant.

Central Private and Silliman still hanging on. I thought for sure CPS would close when Central got their own school district.

I’m curious what the breakdown is in New Roads between permanent residents and camp/ lake house owners?
A lot of the money that is there is likely to be in the owners along the lake right?

Maybe prior to the STEM school. The STEM school is probably the best option right now imho. CHPCS is solid, but I feel it is too costly for the education being provided. If you have the money, then it is certainly a viable option. It is better than FRA, but only marginally. FWIW, FRA has been in decline for awhile. As stated by another poster, the STEM school seems to be pulling students from both FRA and CHPCS.

CHSPC was known (don’t know how it is now) to have the most spoiled, arrogant boys in the area.
If you have a certain last name, you could get away with anything over there... I mean ANYthing.
We had to do a lot of events with them back in my youth group days and they would always start shite with us Westsiders that went to school in BR.
I was in 11th grade and I remember telling this lil “big stuff” 8th grader that I’ll kick your lil short cocky arse all over this sugarcane field. And I want you to go crying to your parents.
Needless to say, when that “big stuff” 8th grader went to 9th grade, he enrolled at my HS.
Pretty sure he got a quick reality check.

I would have never guessed a thread about Livonia High school would have this many posts.

Yeah but like half of them are saying the same thing about PCC being shut down.

In New Roads - mostly residents. Along the lake outside of town is mostly “second” homes.
The area probably doubles in population on warm holiday weekends.

They had to ban metal hair picks.. he said “could you imagine me taking away some kids hair pick” lol

Guilty as charged except we’re in the city limits
