Alton is a community school that not only challenges students but also supports them academically and socially. This small school is unique because no student is a stranger and every child has an opportunity to grow. While the teachers maintain academic and social expectations, there is a network of support that includes the administration and the staff. Every child is valued at Alton.

I have been a part of this school community over 12 years and there has been tremendous growth! Check our progress and state letter grade at the Louisiana Department if Education's website for a complete history of a school on the move. On top and RISING higher!!

Alton is an excellent school and deserves much more praise than it receives. The teachers are so devoted and genuinely care about the academic and personal success of the students. The fieldtrips, tutoring programs, "banking day" events and other programs like last month's black history program create new experiences and motivate the students to learn. The principal is a strong leader and displays a wonderful mix of guidance, discipline and compassion for the children. Alton is a great place to educate our future leaders.

Not enough or any discipline. Therefore, if your child is being bullied expect him/her to slowly become depressed from the constant bullying. Even after it is reported nothing will happen except for documenting it! After taking over since 2 years ago, the new principal seems like a paycheck is most important. The teacher's are excellent!!! Parental participation is has become better in the past 3 years.
