This school frequently engages in unreasonable practices and infringes upon students' basic freedoms. It treats students unfairly, specifically regarding the inconsistent confiscation of jackets. I observed one Asian student having their jacket confiscated while others did not—a potential sign of di

Posted by a student on 11/2/2022I graduated from L.W. Higgins in 2008. Not only were the teachers mostly just babysitting us but my reading comprehension level actually went down from my 10 grade year to my 12th grade. The school was more concerned with keeping us in line by having a large disciplinarian staff and strict dress cod

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is horrible! The bathrooms are disgusting, the children are ruthless, the school is run down, a few teachers just pick on the kids for no reason, the school is very full of drama, there is many fights and incidents, work or lessons cannot be completed because behavior has to be addressed but overall this school is horrible from ceiling to floor. Definitely WOULD NOT recommend. Dont even think about doing so.Other Review2y ago - Vic A. Pitre Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school was terrible. The teachers did nothing about bullying. People get beat up at that school and they do nothing. Hi I’m Averi Burke and when I was at that school I was in 3rd grade. I am now currently in 6th grade. The teachers were very unfair. Very rude and disrespectful. The school did not have a good leadership. One time I got in trouble because I had to use the RESTROOM.The PE teacher is very disrespectful. He yells at students if they get a move wrong. I highly recommend u DO NOT send ur child to this school.Other Review4y ago - Joshua Butler Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is horrible. It does not teach your kids only thing. Your child will learn from their school is how to fight pick up on bad habits, and the people in the office does not care neither the teacher they’re only there for a paycheck now I do have to say it may be a handful of Teachers that do care about their child safety in the school but the office I can see 100% do not care if I were you I would not send my child that’s why you cannot reply on the reviews on Google when u pull the school up because that’s how horrible the school is and I feel that it is wrong because if your child lives in the school district, they are forced to go to a school that is not suitable for them or teaching them anything your child is forced to go there and fail, and they look down on your kids in the school, just like you’re forced to put one star up here and you don’t wanna put none.Parent Review6mo ago - Faith Christian Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is really a bad school. They have a handful of teachers that teaches a bunch of kids in one room at the same time students never receive that one on one time needed that is normally available in a private school. This school leader is very unprofessional and never consistent with given information. My advice would be stay away from this school.Other Review11y ago
