This school has always been hit or miss with their teachers. I feel like it has some really good teachers overall that foster growth well. However, I do feel it's inconsistent here. In the past this school was in the top 5 in the state and since has plummeted a bit in my experience. I think this school is good to start out with then potentially move your kid towards a charter school for innovative learning schemes.

This school is the worst school I have ever seen. The teachers are very rude and disrespectful to the children. They allow other children to curse in the class. They talk bad about a child's parent in front of the students when parents send notes. The feedback is only negative if you get any at all. There is little to no way to know what they are learning in school. Homework assignments are scatrered. The children feel as if they can't even ask a simple questions without the staff being rude or getting angry. They add unessessary restrictions on dress code outside of parish dress code rules. The office staff in particular the short lady is beyond rude to the parents and students alike. The rules are extremely strict. And they still have horrible test scores. The environment is more like a military school rather than a public school. We came from Walker schools before which were EXCELLENT! My daughter makes good grades and never gets in trouble. So this is NOT from a butthurt parent with a misbehaved kid. This school is a joke and needs an overhaul of much of the staff. We are moving out of the parish after this year. Thank God. I feel sorry for anyone who has to deal with this school.

I love it so far. Ny child looks forward to going to school and as a parent, that is so important.

I went there as a child in the late 90's. Many people I know have had children go there recently, and it hasn't gotten any better. Bullying is not dealt with properly. The teachers and staff seem very conservative for the most part, which leads to a very uncaring approach to teaching. A lot of kids start falling to the wayside, and this is blamed on the students and their parents rather than the ones who are paid to teach these kids. I was on the honor roll until I started going to school here. I never had any discipline problems. I was a shy, quiet child, and that ended up being to my detriment. My grades went down, especially in Math, and it didn't stop until my parents took me out of school. I rediscovered my love of learning and reading. Ponchatoula schools in general are overrated. Most of them felt like a prison, which is a problem all over the country. Martha Vinyard was the worst.

Horrible, Nightmare, child abusers as teachers! Beware!
