My daughter attended this school from pre-k to first grade and loved it. I also volunteered and worked as a sub in several classes and the spec ed class. I can say without hesitation that everyone on staff puts children first. Also they do strive for excellence but not at the cost of safety or to the point of putting stress on the kids. Everyone wants to teach in Zachary because its a great community and because of that we get the best teachers. I know lots of parents who are very happy with Zachary and I think anyone reading the comments below should know that it does not at all reflect the majority or is it true.

I moved #1 because of said school district. As my child as move through school beginning in Northwestern grade K I have increasingly become disappointed. Is it better than most EBR schools, the answer is yes. But the teachers and substitutes at Zachary Elementary that I have interacted with are very abrasive in how they speak with parents and kids on a frequent. The principal patronizing techniques with overbearing undertones to communicate. I guess the teachers get their ways from her. Honestly I don't think we will make it it to Copper Mill - I hear it's even worse. The juice is not worth the squeeze- I'll be looking into private school or home schooling my child.

I moved to Zachary or the schools, and I will stay in Zachary because of the teachers. I have two children in school, and every year, the teachers make a point to connect with me throughout the year. They seem to care for each student. The mantra in these schools is "Do your best". I went to an awards ceremony yesterday, and more than one teacher said on the podium that they tell their children they will go on to greater achievements, and in doing that, they are pushing them half the distance to that goal. The schools are different than what I went through. These are not K - 6, they are the whole population of Zachary in two year schools - Copper Mill is 5th and 6th grade. Rollins Place is 1st and 2nd, Zachary Elementary is 3rd and 4th grade.
