Frederick Douglass Elementary School

When I went to this school, it felt like everyone cared how I was doing. They helped me stay on track, provided mental helth support, and provided an amazing education. However, during leap testing, after we were done testing we had to go take P.E. in the blazing sun. Otherwise best school ever. I am really happy that my little brother gets to experience this amazing school.

En general tengo una perseccion muy diferente de la escuela con los últimos comentarios que dejaron en años anteriores ya que los maestros están con contacto con los padres interesados en saber como se desarrollan sus hijos y siempre enfocados en ser ese apoyo en la escuela cuando mi hija renia una duda ella siempre le preguntaba a su maestra de grado y si había un rendimiento bajo siempre me comunicaron para juntas ser una mayor apoyo para que superará y mejorará

This school was the most challenging educational environment I have encountered in my career. The school suffers from a severe lack of care and understanding from the administrative staff, which undermines the support teachers need to succeed. Additionally, there is a significant disengagement among approximately half of the student body, with many students showing no regard for their education, future success, or respect for the efforts of their teachers. Despite educators' dedication to creating meaningful lessons, the lack of motivation and accountability among students severely impacts the learning environment. If given the authority, I would advocate for a complete overhaul of the school to address these systemic issues and create a more effective and supportive educational institution.

Mi experiencia con esta escuela ha sido mala, ya que no son responsables.Mi hijo tuvo que ir a escuela de verano que la directora de esa escuela sugirió por falta de disciplina por parte de los maestros y de ella misma.Esto implicó pagar mucho dinero por ello cuando tenía entendido que son programas gratis.Después de eso ellos tenían que haberme llamado para hacerme saber el proceso a seguir, pero tuve que llamarlos yo y aún así no podían ayudarme.Hacen que los padres gasten dinero en graduación de los niños aún sabiendo que no pasaron grado, no les informan a los padres hasta después de la ceremonia.Eso es entre otras malas experiencias que tuve con esta escuela.

My daughter attends this school and have been for a few years now .. the teachers communicating with parents are horrible . They take forever to email you back of you have questions .. They will not take the time to make sure each kid understands the classwork instead just let them fail and never discuss with you about any problems they may be having in class that makes them have these ending results … I wish I would have kept my child at Ray St Pierre instead!! At lease their teachers keep you updated on your child needs in the classroom which would allow you to work on it at home …. Worst decision I made … There aren’t enough teachers there because they love being a teacher it’s more for just a pay check

No screens (not giving Chromebooks to 5 or 6 year olds), no homework until 3rd grade and no required standardized state testing. And that's just the broad strokes of why this is a great school teaching children how to be thoughtful empathetic humans. No other educational model in New Orleans is doing the great work this school is doing.

A waste of time and money!!!! That’s if you have to pay full tuition. If you qualify for vouchers hey try and see.
