This school’s current rating is concerning, especially considering that it has reportedly maintained an F rating for approximately 15 years. At some point, the continued poor performance needs to be taken seriously and addressed by the people responsible for overseeing the school.Our recent experience with the administration has only added to those concerns. The father of a student was told that the school wanted him removed and banned from the property. There was no custody order presented that prohibited him from accessing his child. Law enforcement was contacted, and we were directed to take the matter to the school board. When we did so, we were told by an administrator/secretary at the district level that he was not banned from the school.Parents should not have to involve law enforcement and escalate to the school board simply to get clear and consistent answers regarding their rights and their child's education.The school needs stronger accountability, better communication, and a serious examination of its administration and overall educational environment. A school continuing to receive an F rating year after year should be a major concern for parents and the community. Children deserve a school that is focused on academic achievement, transparency, safety, and working collaboratively with families.

overall this school is great because safey is good everything is good about this school

The teachers and staff have a disgusting attitude and very unprofessional. I will never recommend them to anyone!

Eighty-First Street ECE Early Childhood Center is a unique magnet public school located in Caddo Parish that serves a diversity of preschool to kindergarten students in Shreveport, Louisiana. This is a great school for students who are intellectually strong, but may have struggles in the areas of reading, math and writing due to having a diagnosis of autism or other developmentally delayed conditions. This school also offers general education classes that provide a variety of instructional methods to develop students’ knowledge and capabilities. As the motto states, “We play with a Purpose.” Eighty-First Street ECE has an excellent, tenured, diversely experienced principal named Mrs. Deborah Alexander. She leads a staff of highly qualified, caring professionals who strategically assess, place, teach and address the diverse needs of the student population while providing a rigorous, data driven curriculum, wherein the goals of the Individualized Education Plan, or IEP, are systematically addressed, evaluated and reviewed. At Eighty-First Street ECE Center, the Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports, also known as PBIS, in addition to the Class Dojo application, are utilized to maintain a positive school climate and enhance the learning experience. As a certified, tenured veteran educator with a Master’s degree, I am thrilled to work in this haven of educational growth where both students and adults have opportunities to advance towards their personal goals. It is a pleasure to observe the active involvement of students’ parents in the school’s activities. Many parents are previous students at 81st. Street ECE Center and they highly recommend this school to others. The school has 150 students in grades PreK to Kindergarten, with a student-teacher ratio of either 12-1 for special education classes and 20-1 for general education classes. After graduation, 100% of students from this school go on to attend a public or private K-12 school of their choice. Eighty-First Street ECE Center is a proud recipient of the Caddo Parish Public Schools Gains Campus Award for two consecutive years.
