The Caldwell Parish Schools make up one of only four districts in Louisiana to show growth in all schools in the 2007 spring testing cycle. We have no schools in academic assistance status and no schools in academically unacceptable school status.
For the 2007-2008 school year, Caldwell Parish High School earned a growth label of Recognized Academic Growth. This school will be eligible for monetary rewards from the state department because of its performance levels. Union Central Elementary continues to show growth. We congratulate our schools for having a performance label of 2 stars and a baseline score in the high 80's and 90's. We are proud of our students, our parents, and our dedicated faculty, staff, and administrators!
