"There are plenty of opportunities for socialization here. Co-Vid 19 put a damper on things, but it is coming back...Jazz Fest literally happens in my backyard with Voo Doo Fest in my front yard yearly...We have the Mardi Gras Marathon, The 3rd of July Marine Band Concert, and numerous events every weekend from City Park Plant Sales to Hogs for a Cause to Celebration in the Oaks...but the greatest of festivals are nearly as great as an impromptu gathering of friends on the Bayou on a breezy, Sunday afternoon."

"It was 7 minutes to my job. Which was very easy. I think for others working in other parts of the city you would look at a 20 minute commute. "

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFront staff is extremely disrespectful and uncompliant with parents. I had been calling the school since 1:45 pulled up to school at 2:25. Processes to sit at door till 3:03 then proceeded to make me get in a car riders line that had me stuck till 4:45. I am immediately taking my child out of this school and wondering if I can take matters to court.Parent Review5mo ago1 Reviews
