I was a former teacher there. I soon accepted a job as a principal and moved away wanting to better myself and grow. It was great place to work and gain experience. My passion at Travis was for my students. PAISD is as a whole is a very trying district and you have to have the heart for it. REALITY: Students come from many different backgrounds. Behind the scenes, you deal with students who don't want to learn, students who are having a bad day, students who love you one day, and say they hate you the next. You are more than just a teacher so you have to take this and teach/love them all each day with no bias!! The school is very old and needs to be upgraded. There are plans for the school to be rebuilt in the next year or so. Hopefully, this will enhance the growth for areas like technology in order to keep up with a technology based society. You want your child to have the best! It is not the best school in the world, but not the worst.

"I’ve lived in this neighborhood for 27 years. The city does not do adequate maintenance on the infrastructure, subsequently our neighborhood has flooded twice in the past year. Houses can be purchased for far less than their replacement cost. "

"cultural diversity and economy is booming compared to most cities . Most of the great economy and housing market comes from the all the numerous oil refineries that employ alot of people here and drives the economy to above average and even boosting economy of cities in Louisiana closest to us . An old port town with lots of rich history . Local property taxes are the lowest around the area with private businesses popping up everywhere . Unemployment is low and the housing market is one of the best in the nation ."
