Galvez Primary is a good school. Though the administration leaves very much to be desired. Some of the faculty are great, although some are left with much to be desired. I would rather put my child in private school than have to deal with the administration.

Academics is great, but there is no free time, to freedom to socialize even before school, and every moment is rigidly regulated. I would move now but my son has developed close friendships that would damage him emotionally and this is currently more important. no art or music, very minimal extra curicular.

As a teacher and parent of three children that have attended Galvez Primary School I feel fortunate. Our administration, teachers, and parents have enabled our students to achieve excellent testing results.

The teachers are very fortunate because parent volunteers arrive just to help create learning tools for students. Every day students have forty-five minutes of enrichment. Enrichment classes include French language lessons, training for the President's Fitness Challenge, health and safety, physical education with a wide variety of equipment for regular and special education children, fitness games, and movement with music. Student are involved in 4-H on a school, parish, and regional level and they can create seafood/meat/poultry/egg dishes. Go Galvez Primary! Thank you! Read less

I've had one child go through Galvez Primary and she's learned so much from the teachers she's had.

I have two children in this school. They are very high on the academic scale and my children have been very fortunate with the teachers that they have had. Each of their teachers have recognized my children's intelligence and took the time to recommend TAG testing each year. This told me that they

My only complaint is that my children strive for honor roll each nine weeks and the school offers a skating party to those students and unfortunately if the teachers or the office staff do not hand out the slips for the parents, the children miss out and I think they need that motivation for parties or honor roll breakfasts to keep them striving for good grades. It is a treat for them. Also, I have only seen Galvez Primary in the local paper once during the four years my children have been there. I think that is also motivation for the children to get involved in extracurricular activities and to be on honor roll. Thanks!!! Read less
