GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

One of my most memorable experiences is Aqua Fest, the last day of school. At Paul Breaux, my last year there was the hardest, and Aqua Fest really made me appreciate all the hard work that I did those three years. I felt that I deserved it. In that aspect, Paul Breaux taught me you earn what you work for.

Paul Breaux did have practice lock-ins, although not often. Also, they responded to threats (such as an armed criminal nearby) efficiently and promptly. Overall, they have great precautionary policies.

As a current gifted student here most of the teachers are really great. The administration is a little bit questionable. The gifted enviroment is very positive. The Spanish immersion and regular Ed environments are a little questionable though. Most of the French teachers have like no filter though.

School is horrible. Worst place I've ever been. I am only here because of the French program. If not I would have been long gone. Please don't send your kid here.
