Park Vista has been horrible for the 2013-2014 school year. My children have been getting hurt and so have other children and their parents were not advised of anything. The principals Green and Joubert are too busy trying to hide that their are any problems to make the school look good that they allow this to happen.

"Don’t live on the north side of Opelousas (Dangerous) the south side of Opelousas is still really nice and a quiet place to live! The culture and food is really good! It is a very unique place to live! I’ve lived here my whole life and it is definitely a place I can live the rest of my life around! Overall very good place to live. The down town part of Opelousas is really cool too! A lot of old antique building that make really good for pictures! Really really good food as well! Opelousas is home to some of the best cajun food in Louisiana as well! "
