J. S. Clark Elementary School

my son has high functioning autism and adhd and they are horrible with him. they way they talk not only to me but to him and to go ve him something just to take it away and we mentioned he has autism and one teacher says she has a grandson and there isnt that much autism in the world but heres the thing not all autism is the same so yea she has a grandson with autism but she dont know how mu sons autism works nor do any of the teachers really listen to me when i try to explain. oh and the fact that they undress my son without letting me know until i pick him up or just dont let me know at all.

This school was the worst experience that could have ever happened to my family. I had my kids enrolled for first grade and had to remove them after 5 weeks. One of the teachers treated my son so badly he stopped speaking, two years of speech therapy down the drain, it was so bad he wouldn't even ask to use the facilities and came home wet and soiled with no explanation form the people handing him off to me whatsoever. When I confronted to school board and asked to have them moved to the school they would be in for middle school anyway (it did both elementary and middle) they told me to just keep sending him and they'd "figure it out". No thank you. He was so scared to go there that he was screaming and fighting me to get dressed. He clearly wasn't safe there and I wasn't sending him back. I later learned after having washed my hands of the whole school parish that she hit him. No ma'am. Caddo is a joke. I regret not keeping them in Bossier so badly. Two years later I still can't take him by a school without him having a complete breakdown.

1, im so happy my child is in another positive leadership, more academic, very patient, great attitude, and SUPPORTIVE SCHOOL!

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.

I have been going here for years and loved it!

I have had three children educated at St. Mark's, and their experience has been unique to each. The oldest discovered a gift for math and languages, as well as performance and theater. The second discovered a love for the biological sciences, and the "practicum" that comes with applied learning, and the third thrived in the comradery with students, teachers, and administration while awakening to their potential as a student. Like most private schools, the teachers at St Mark's were available upon request, and generally gave us good feedback and advice on how best to help our children thrive in the classroom. They also occasionally gave advice on how best to "coach" our children through the inevitable social development that children share at school. Now that our two oldest are in college and graduate school out of state they both attend church on their own on Sunday mornings, and I would attribute that in part to the chapel services they attended throughout their school years.
