Your 7th grader will have graduated by the time an ISD is formed and schools built

The EBR school system as a whole is a joke. Yes there are some solid elementary schools, and BRHS and a couple others, but for the most part from the middle school level on up, it’s terrible. In the 30 years I’ve been here, there has been no improvement in the school system. None. The “magnet” schools are a sham, and young teachers take jobs in EBR only as a last resort and look to jump ship the first chance they get. Don’t believe me? Go to a job fair in Livingston or Ascension the next time they have one - it’s nothing but EBR teachers looking to escape. Heck, I know teachers who live in EBR and who could easily gets jobs in EBR who drive as far as St. James and Tangipahoa just to teach in a decent district.
When my son was about to start 1st grade he needed speech therapy. They wanted to bus him to Broadmoor Elementary, even though we lived in Shenandoah. He would have had to wake up at 6am, catch a bus, then be taken to a transfer station and get on ANOTHER bus that would bring him to Broadmoor Elementary... all at 6 years of age. Crazy. Later found out that he was entitled by law to receive services at his home school, but they just didn’t want to be inconvenienced.

Improvement? Hell, they've gotten much worse.

What they wanted to do with your son is pretty much what they tried to do with every kid in the system circa 1980, bussing them from their home district to a transfer station at Independence Park and then on to their actual school.
Needless to say, that bullshite spurred the massive increase in students at private schools in BR as well as the outflow to Ascension and Livingston.

We had kids bussed from Scotlandville to Central when I was there. Luckily we were spared the worst of it since the school was a little geographically isolated compared to most other BR schools.

Exactly - but they sure will try to convince you that things are on the up-and-up. It’s been the same shite every year. “Come to our Magnet showcase at the Mall of Louisiana (or back in the 90s, Cortana) and discover all of our wonderful academic offerings”

Some of the magnet programs are good but in BR we essentially use them to separate the regular kids from the troublemakers.

They also switch magnet schools around pretty regularly — had a friend whose son was in talented art at BRCVPA. When he started middle school in 6th grade he was sent to Broadmoor Middle which was the “arts magnet.” It was still a sham because they still had kids from Mall City and E-Z Town and the like being bussed there. Then the following year they switched and McKinley Middle became the arts magnet. It was all a huge clusterfrick.

I wouldn’t think you would have these plans I. Place before becoming a city

Okay okay. Let me get this straight. You're pissed that you possibly won't be able to send your kids to BRMHS anymore, but at the same time talking up the school they would go to instead?
Seems to me that you are actively admitting that the school they would be going to(Woodlawn) isn't up to your standards, but you are bitching at others because they don't think it's good enough.

I'm talking about K program. Shenandoah and parkview has no K program. You are also talking about putting kids future based on lottery.
Do you mean Pre-K? Shenandoah and Parkview 100% have Kindergarten that is just based on living in the attendance zone. They also have Pre-K but only for Gifted students, but that is in all of EBR (also for low income but not at those schools) as Pre-K is not mandated or fully funded by the state.

EBR Pre-K gifted testing is crooked and biased AF.
If they see your kid is from a two parent household, and already have them enrolled in a daycare. Guess what, your kid won’t “pass” the screening.
But, if the kid comes from a single parent, lower income household, they “pass” the screening.
The EBRSS gifted “assessors” already made a decision on your child based on your app info, and without even testing them yet.
How do I know? Aunt retired from EBR two years ago. 30+ years with them.

WHAM is one of the highest ranking elementary schools in the state. Along with BRCVAP & FLAIM.
