As schools and students begin their final preparations for the spring Louisiana Educational Assessment Program (LEAP) tests, the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) created this fact sheet to provide parents with general information about the tests, and what you and your child can expect when he or she takes the tests in April and May.
Students in the Jefferson Parish Public School System, as well as across the state, who are in grades 3-8 will participate in LEAP paper based tests April 25-29. In addition to providing basic facts about these important assessments, the Parent Guide to LEAP 2016 offers resources to help parents better understand what their child will experience on the test such as practice tests, sample test questions, and student work from previous assessments.
