Winbourne Elementary School

This is so amazing they teach the kids like they teach the world!!

Baton Rouge Berean is an excellent Adventist Christian school in Southwest Region Conference. The Berean Church made a huge investment in upgrading their campus facility to provide a positive learning environment for school age Children. No school is perfect anywhere, but everybody must pull together to create a healthy learning environment. Teachers cannot shoulder all the responsibility even in a Christian school. It takes a city to raise a Child. Home, School, and Church must work together in a collaborative way to insure that our Children our successful. Most public Schools discourage prayer, and teach evolution. Most public schools do not encourage Christian principles such as abstinence. Those who attend private schools traditionally do much better on standardized tests, and they are far more committed to Christian values. The Berean School is committed to these principles even though Berean can't do it alone.

I'm more than satisfied! I know my child is in a nurturing, structured, and safe educational environment!!! My child is a 6th-grader at MLK (been there since K-4). Based on what I know & have seen at local schools, there's no where else I'd rather my child be. I would like for MLK to add high school. One parent felt the 'school' only focused on intimidating the kids. Well, I believe they're mistaking intimidation w/DISCIPLINE. Being in the education profession, I visit other schools, talk to other educators, and see many, many students that lack discipline & respect for authority (talking back to/disrespecting teachers/principals, walking out of/skipping classes). If these students had discipline...or were 'intimidated', they wouldn't commit these behaviors. And the staff at MLK will not tolerate it (love it). Preparing the students? I know MLK follows a curriculum that's aligned w/what's required by the state of LA. Parents! You must do your part, & not put everything on the teacher. You know your child's strengths/weaknesses (the staff/parent communication is awesome), so make sure they're studying/practicing, and stop looking for someone to blame.
