Central Park Elementary School

This school was the worst experience that could have ever happened to my family. I had my kids enrolled for first grade and had to remove them after 5 weeks. One of the teachers treated my son so badly he stopped speaking, two years of speech therapy down the drain, it was so bad he wouldn't even ask to use the facilities and came home wet and soiled with no explanation form the people handing him off to me whatsoever. When I confronted to school board and asked to have them moved to the school they would be in for middle school anyway (it did both elementary and middle) they told me to just keep sending him and they'd "figure it out". No thank you. He was so scared to go there that he was screaming and fighting me to get dressed. He clearly wasn't safe there and I wasn't sending him back. I later learned after having washed my hands of the whole school parish that she hit him. No ma'am. Caddo is a joke. I regret not keeping them in Bossier so badly. Two years later I still can't take him by a school without him having a complete breakdown.

I went to Shreve Island Elementary school. I graduated from there in 2015. I loved it. I enjoyed having 2 weeks off after each 9 weeks because I got to travel or go see my grandmother. I also enjoyed the field trips. I am autistic and have ADHD so I was helped by some special educators with my assignments. Those ladies were very nice. I had fun in enrichment class. Since we had one recess a day, enrichment class felt like a second recess or first, depending on if it came before or after enrichment. I also enjoyed speech therapy. We would do speech and then play games at the end of speech therapy before I went back to class. My favorite grades were first and third grade. I was really good at math in 3rd grade. My math skills went down hill in 4th grade but back up hill when I was a freshman in college. Today I am a junior at Dallas Baptist University studying to be a Christian counselor and I cannot believe it’s now been 10 years since my last year at Shreve Island. Overall, I loved Shreve Island and would recommend it. I tell all my elementary education friends at DBU to teach at Shreve Island if they ever move to Shreveport after college

The principal has demonstrated a lack of concern for student safety. The designated bus stops pose significant safety risks to students, and despite multiple complaints, the principal has shown no regard for the ongoing dangers faced by those in their care.

I had to switch my daughter from Central Park and I see a lot of improvement in her education.

likely the worst private school in the area
