Rating 3 out of 5
The best part about the St. Tammany Parish Public Schools would be the experiences I’ve had with classmates and how quick it is for students to build a community of friends. The worst part would be the teachers not doing their jobs correctly or the blaming of students for them doing their jobs wrong.

I have been a part of the St. Tammany Parish Public School system for eight years now. Throughout those eight years, all of my teachers have demonstrated that they care about me and my future, as well as those of my classmates. For example, my teachers love to hear about my baking business, and many of them have ordered from me for their birthdays or their children's birthdays. Two years ago, I made one hundred cake cups for all the teachers and staff at Fontainebleau High School. When serving the treats, all of the teachers were smiling and thanking me. It was an amazing experience, one I hope to have again this year. The teachers are amazing in how kind, thoughtful, and dedicated they are to my future. I am blessed to be St. Tammany Parish School District.

They are below average! Teachers and faculty just don’t really care anymore, to worried about getting sued and not will to help prepare for future or better the children.
