Making the Grade.

Education is a big part of what we do at HFO. Why? Well in a parish with a 69.0 performance score out of an 88.5 statewide average, we know education will open doors. While our kids may not have a choice but to attend D-rated schools - we work with our students to make the grade in school so they can succeed in life.

Provides a year-to-year at a glance of two data points:

• % students passing all classes (in red) this number takes into account all students in the program each school year. NOTE: 1st-3rd grades were added into the program before in the summer of 2018.

• % of students who demonstrated significant improvement in reading fluency (in blue) this number accounts for 3rd-5th grade scores from 2013 through the 2017/2018 school year and 1st-5th grade for the 2018/2019 school year. As expected, with the addition of new students significant improvement was not expected initially.
