BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL
Forest Heights Academy of Excellence is very excited to have been named a 2008 No Child Left Behind-Blue Ribbon School. This award recognizes our efforts to ensure that every child learns and no child is left behind. The Blue Ribbon School distinction award is the highest honor the federal government bestows on schools throughout the country.
For a public school to win, student achievement must be in the top 10 percent on state standardized tests or at least 40 percent of the school's population, from disadvantaged backgrounds, must dramatically improve on those tests. We will be honored at an awards ceremony in Washington D. C. in October hosted by the United States Secretary of Education, Margaret Spellings.

Learning Through Videoconferencing
Students in Pre-K through Grade 5 are enjoying the videoconferencing sessions which are available to us this year. This new teaching tool is taking our students on many exciting adventures.
Our students have been able to visit with educators from the Bronx Zoo in New York City. Some grades have also enjoyed listening to guest readers from other schools in the Baton Rouge area.
