Benjamin Franklin Elementary Math And Science

The school is horrible. The girls are mean and the administration does not care about the students. I was harassed by the principal, Julie Boyd, until I left. The girls do not accept new students and hate people who are different. The culture is money, the girls will only accept you if you can afford the current designer bag or dress. Parents pay to get their children out of trouble.

I had both of my boys at St Stephen Catholic School. When we had to move to Texas, it was hard for us to say goodbye to the school! It is a safe and family-oriented environment. The staff was committed to my kids. The principal, Mrs. Rosie Kendrick, engages with the students; she is always willing to reach out to both parents and students. St Stephen gave a great academic foundation to my boys. The school also provides extra support to students and their families if need be. My oldest one excelled academically. I particularly love their Math and Social Studies curricula. Thank you, St Stephen!

StG is a warm and caring place that is filled with educators who care deeply about the children they work with. My daughter is in 8th grade and has had the most wonderful educators from Kindergarten through 8th grade. The faculty and staff know her as an individual and challenge her academically. No school is perfect, but StG will always have a special place in our hearts. If you are looking for a smaller environment where your child won't get lost in a big ocean, this is the place for them. It's a hidden gem in New Orleans.

As a student who transferred in from a public New Orleans high school in the 9th grade, I can definitely say it was one of the better decisions I've made in my life. I've found that there are countless resources available and at you're disposal, the kids are not snobby like whats expected (in fact they are nicer than kids at public school and are usually very humble and respectful if they do possess lots of wealth*,) the campus is unlike any other high school I've seen, and the amount of sports and AP's they offer is a major plus. I will say that certain aspects of the student body are cliquish and you are definitely at a disadvantage if you don't live uptown/near campus. Nevertheless, I personally found a friend group that I'm content in. Also, if you don't participate in either a sport, debate, or theatre than I wouldn't come. Only downside for me are that certain teachers are not very passionate about what they are teaching nor do they care for the students. I found that many teachers are only there so they can get a discounted tuition price for their own children. Regardless, I've also had some awesome teachers so you win some you lose some. *the boys are often snobbier than the girls

This school was a French, full French immersion school, where English was a class period every day. Students were on track to graduate with their American diploma and their baccalaureate until the curriculum was drastically changed to having French only every other day so it is no longer a Full immersion school where your child is completely immersed in the second language. With dozens of firings and a purge of more than 200 students, they finished it off with a name change and a relocation. Now the school is called LF international de Louisiane. It is in no way the same school. As far as the new school, hostile, overly strict and threatening to those who do not comply. I had to take my child out after four years and after the start of the fifth year when things got too bad to look the other way. I can tell you that she is an excellent student, but is not on her grade level right now and had to go to an all English school because there was not another French immersion school that she could attend as we are in Jefferson Parish. All articles are still in the schools previous name and I urge you to do your research before choosing this school for your child because more than likely, just like the rest of us, you will find yourself looking desperately for another school once you realize what’s really going on over there.

unorganized, rookie teachers and no progress towards improving the shortcomings
