Schools in the North DeSoto area continue to face the challenge of accommodating the community’s rapidly growing population.
North DeSoto Lower Elementary is facing challenges, including the inability to have the same 18:1 student-to-teacher ratio that is seen in other parts of the parish. While we are proud to have lower class sizes than elsewhere in the state, creating a standard for the Parish creates a strong sense of community and support for all of our students. The building originally housed students in kindergarten through sixth grade and now serves PreK through first grade.
