Alleged Testing Irregularity

A group of ninth-graders said they had straight A’s or B’s, and said they felt the state’s standardized exams were “easy”. They described practice on items that were very close to the items on the test.”

We strive to provide best possible environment for our student to succeed in their lives including state tests. We believe our dedicated teachers should be commended for that rather than being put under suspicion by hidden implications. Our school uses state released resources for test prep such as Eagle, Louisiana PASS, released test items, LEAP Tutoring lessons, and practice tests. In addition to state resources, teachers are provided with Louisiana content aligned Coach and Buckle Down publications for test prep.

In order to monitor student progress, we administer 4 full-length practice tests published by Coach and Buckle Down testing companies. Students are placed into pull out groups based on their respective areas of weakness. School is offering free Saturday school, along with free transportation and lunch.
