All I can say is I’m glad we’re out of HIE! I can’t rate it high because we aren’t too happy with HIE.

My daughter loves this school. Over all we had a good experience. Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Troyer are really nice and I don’t have any negative things to say about either of them. I just wish other areas could be better such as bullying but I think that’s in every school’s not just this one. Also, some of the 3rd grade teachers need to relax a bit they seem over stressed and always mad. They don’t seem as kind and happy to be there. They never smile or say hi or say how are you doing which is really surprising to me since I always volunteer at the school and help out.

We moved here from California and I had heard some bad things about Louisiana Schools. I researched and found out from a lot of locals that this was by far the best school to send your child to. Because my daughter was new, it worked for us that the school is only 2nd and 3rd graders, so it was a lot less intimidating. The school was excellent, even above the standards we were used to. I was very impressed with the quality of work, the grading scale and the fieldtrips that she was able to participate in. Not to mention the "positive reinforcement" with rewarding the children with buzz bucks when they did something right. It was very cool. I even got a "good news call" from the principle to tell me that my daughter was doing very well in her class. She is thriving there and got straight A's on her report card ( a first for us ). I would highly recommend this school to any undeciding parents.

This was our first year after transferring from Whispering Forest and what a shock. Such a different environment. I've heard the feeder schools are worse. Classes are larger..too many kids. The traffic before and after is unbelievable. I've encountered similar issues with school involvement in activities seeimingly limited to certain children and parents. We are seriously considering moving out of this district.

great school. although crowded due to this area's reputation of good schools, The class size is fairly small compared other parts of the country.With all the staple resources that hasn't suffered budget cut , like structured PE class , music class , art class,gifted program, special ed program - even Suzuki string class, singing bee, Lego league....you couldn't ask more from a public school.Parents are very involved, teachers and staff are respectful.
