St. Mary School Board announcement: LEAP testing for home-schooled, private school students

The St. Mary Parish public school system sent this notice:

Nonpublic and Home-school students are eligible to take LEAP 2025 tests in all four core subjects. Nonpublic school students must pay a fee of $35 per subject. This fee is due at the time of registration.

Parents/guardians are asked to contact Robbi Gouaux at 337-836-6035 to register students who will then be scheduled to take the tests at the school in their attendance zone.

Third grade students will take a paper-based assessment while 4th – 8th graders test online. Specific testing dates and times will be given upon registration. The deadline for registering is March 18th.

All nonpublic and home-school students planning to enter public school in 5th or 9th grade for the 2022-2023 school year must take either the LEAP 2025 tests in April/May or the LEAP Placement test in July before they can do so.
