Legion Park Middle School

An incident happened while my daughter was in class and I didn’t ever hear about it from the staff. When I questioned her teacher she said oh yes the principal was notified. But what does that say to me? Parents have zero say once their child enters the LPE campus. Parents aren’t invited to visit the school passed the main office(with the exception of a few small events that are coordinated in a prison like setting). Parents aren’t welcome to visit for lunch or anything. You don’t get to interact with the staff until the week school starts. Children aren’t allowed to play on playground equipment unless earned and that’s ONCE a MONTH. PreK and K are required to do homework after an 8 hour school day. Overall bad experience and gave concentration camp vibes. Not a fun or inviting atmosphere whatsoever.

Can’t speak highly enough of this school! My son is an inclusion student (sped) and the sped department here has done WONDERS for him! We went from D’s and F’s to A’s, B’s and C’s! Moving here was best decision! The teachers and staff truly love these kids and the administration has a no nonsense policy for bullying and misbehavior which is great for teaching our kids how to become productive members of society. They have lots of clubs to join and the school places great every year in Beta for state and regional competitions! If you want great teachers, good education and a school where bullying and bad behavior are not tolerated this is your school! You won’t find better admin in this parish!

I do not care for the leadership at this school and can't wait for my kids to get out of there

I am beyond disappointed in our experience at Houma Christian School. What is marketed as a Christ-centered environment felt anything but Christ-like behind the scenes.There is a clear culture of favoritism. Rules are not applied equally. Discipline appears selective. In athletics especially, it often feels like influence and financial support matter more than merit or character. Some students seem protected while others are held to entirely different standards.Bullying is not taken seriously, and what’s even more disturbing is that in our experience, some of the most hurtful behavior did not only come from students. We witnessed adults in authority speak to children in ways that were demeaning, dismissive, and unkind. When teachers model hostility or sarcasm toward students, it creates a culture where bullying is normalized instead of corrected.There is a lack of consistency and accountability. It often feels like “who you know” determines outcomes more than what is right.A Christian school should reflect fairness, humility, compassion, and protection of children. Instead, we experienced politics, favoritism, and a culture that felt far removed from the values it claims to represent.I hope leadership reflects deeply on the environment they are creating. Children deserve better.

The best school experience we have ever had.
