R. V. Kerr Elementary School

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

Two of my children have gone to Apollo. They are an amazing school with an incredible staff. The teachers, principal, front office, and janitorial team all go above and beyond to create a positive, welcoming environment for the kids. It’s clear they truly care about my students and take pride in what they do. We’re very grateful for everything they do each day!

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.

Our 1st and not ever again school year was unpleasant due to one bad apple. Kelli Wood the front office staff member was unpleasant and rude every time I would entered into the school from start to finish during that school year. She may need to be trained better and differently on how to speak to the adults bringing their children there. The teacher and paraprofessional, speech therapist was great in my child's learning experience. It's just the one bad apple that made others pull their children out of the school because she was disrespectful to the parents. This is not normal in my reviews but I had to be the voice to say something about that one bad apple.
