A Vice Principal was told that bullying was going on by a student. The VP should have called the parent within 1 day. No one called the parent. The child came home with bruises a month later being bullied every day since then. The French Immersion program is horrible the teachers don't watch what is going on in the class. They pass the students because they aren't learning. The best students in the class can't understand the French classes and aren't learning what they need to learn for the leap and ileap tests. Children understand that no one will help them if they have a problem with another student and that they must fight to take care of themselves or get beat up everyday. Brass knuckles, drugs, cigarettes, fights are a constant at this school. This is the best school in Saint Martin Parish. This is unfortunate that the teachers, principals, school board and superintendent refuse to or are too busy and make excuses why they can't get to your child in time. It is sad when a police officer has to be called every week to a school. Bullying to the staff means knives and brass knuckles, not constant hitting and teasing for years and nothing is done.

Sweet lady's in the office and caring staff, but still all in all, this school plays favorism and doesn't treat each child fairly, example it's ok for some kids to wear colored hair and Mohawks but not all.. It's ok for some to never follow dress code and it's also ok for some to never go to school but still have great grades and pass.... Ur child if they are not liked from the first day will be treated unfairly for the year and years to come, and they don't give extra help or care if ur child needs help, if ur kid doesn't catch on it's not there problem and ur child is doom to fail that year!!!

This school socially is still as it was over 50 years ago. If you are a football player or cheerleader you almost “walk on water.” If you had an older sibling or cousin that was a football player or cheerleader you are pretty much guaranteed a spot on the team. If you last name is Guidry, or Calais you’re almost a local celebrity even if you personally never accomplished a thing in your life. Unfortunately, it’s not just the students that treat this “click” like this it’s also the teachers, staff and Principals.This school is all about “clicks” , and class warfare. If you don’t fit into one of the boxes that they check off as be acceptable then you are harassed at school and online, even everywhere in public in the small towns.The only charges that I have seen is the school and the students have become more “woke.” There is increased violence, but I think that is unfortunately the case in most schools.A good change is French Emerson classes. More college prep classes.-although they do not prepare they kids for classes in college. There still are a few good teachers in the school that do care.The parents are almost all alumni so they are either expecting their children to be treated special like they were or because of who they were/are! Or they are parents who are now successful and trying to live their dream through their children. Or the ultimate, those claiming revenge on the bullies of their past. It’s just a vicious cycle. Most people who move their children away from there usually end up much happier and excelling in school. Children who move into Cecilia for the most part will do ok. It’s exciting for the students to meet someone new, someone that they haven’t known since primary school.I just hope the teachers and staff will at least acknowledge how divisive and disgustingly distructive of an environment that has been created here. They need to step up and make a change! Any one of those movies made in the 80’s could have been made there, Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club and could have started with Dazed and Confused that depicted the 70’s. There were drugs, hazing and egging houses. Our burger joint was Sonic in neighboring town. The town of rival football team.

Overall, a great experience. This is especially telling when seeing what little options are available and the comparison to other local public schools.
