Overall the school itself and teachers are wonderful. Like many other people I agree it does need special education department. My biggest issue is the secretary that sits up front. She is not only ride and hateful towards the children but thier parents as well. Nobody with that attitude towards students needs to be working in a school I'm sorry. Another major problem is the buses. There are so many issues with bullying and teasing on the bus it is unreal and all that gets said is once on the bus it's out of thier hands, it is really a shame children have to deal with this on a daily basis

I was very skeptical when my daughter started at South Grant. We came from a much larger parish into Grant. I have to say, however, after two whole years at this school I am completely and 100% satisfied! The school itself is immaculate, and the teachers are amazing. My daughters grades have never been better, and there is so many ways to keep her learning. I recommened this school to anyone entering the area!

I would like to start by stating this was written with the intent to help other parents moving to this area to have the facts. This doesn't mean that this school can never grow or prosper. Praises: 1. I am not allowed to give names but there are many caring & dynamic teachers. 2. The principal is open to concerns and does her best to work out situations. 3. The school nurse is attentive and knowledgeable. 4. Phonics is strongly taught giving the students the tools to be successful readers. 5. They do their utmost to provide a loving environment. Concerns: 1. Special Education classes are not offered. (i.e. gifted, challenged, etc.) 2. The curriculum is lacking in many aspects. They are easily one grade level behind in comparison to the U.S. average. 3. When a teacher for specials is out (example music, library or P.E.) the students many times watch a movie. 4. The counselor(s) do not participate in any open houses, etc. so the parents don't have any idea who they are or if the school has one or more.
