Court School

Students who exhibit behavior that makes it inappropriate for them to remain on a regular school campus are assigned to Court School, in accordance with a collaborative agreement between the St. Charles Parish Public School System, the St. Charles Parish Court System, and the Sheriff's Office.

Court School is primarily behaviorally oriented, more therapeutic, and where students achieve social and academic skills that facilitate their return to the regular school environment and/or community. Students have to follow strict guidelines while attending the school.
