About Us

Rapides Parish Schools are relentlessly committed to providing a supportive and innovative educational system that ENGAGES our community, EMPOWERS individuals, and ELEVATES our people to their maximum potential.

Our STUDENTS can and will achieve as well or better than any other students across our great state and across our country.

Our TEACHERS and STAFF can and will help our students achieve at such high levels.

Our PRINCIPALS can and will lead our teachers and students to these high levels.

Our PARENTS and COMMUNITY can and will support and celebrate this success.

• All students will perform on grade level in literacy and numeracy by the end of third grade (PK-3rd).

• Students in grades 4-8 will be proficient on LEAP in all core content areas, will meet individual growth targets in ELA and Math, and make connections with high school and career opportunities.

• Students in grades 8-12 will maximize growth, achieve proficiency, and thrive with effective support on their chosen path to on-time graduation.

  • Focus on LEAP exams and national/state identified assessments to accelerate towards college, career, and/or service readiness.

Our mission for the 2024-2025 school year is: 

Rapides Parish Public Schools will increase the number of students meeting proficiency in all reportable categories by 10%.
