The Lafayette Parish School System (LPSS) is a school district based in Lafayette, Louisiana.
The district serves all of Lafayette Parish.
The Gifted & Talented Program is a program designed for academically advanced students. The elementary academic acceleration portion of the program occurs at Myrtle Place Elementary, Plantation Elementary, and Woodvale Elementary, the middle school portion at Paul Breaux Middle School, and the high school portion at Lafayette High School.
Lafayette Parish School System currently offers sixteen Schools of Choice from grades K-12. These include the following:
Each one offers something different. A student can get into a school of choice one of two ways; by lottery drawing, or application into the school of choice if slots remain after the lottery takes place. The lottery drawing is conducted in the last week of February, unless holidays interfere. There are no requirements for the Schools of Choice except for the Early College Academy. Each program has its own capacity for students. If the student is not accepted, then the legal guardian must enroll them in a home zoned school.
Fall Frenzy is a day in the fall, usually in November, when any student that is zoned for a Lafayette Parish school may come to the convention center to explore the academies. Students can get information about a School of Choice, and learn about the daily activities. Parents can also get information about any prerequisites that the academy may have. Each School of Choice sets up a booth that displays graphics, etc. Each student can stop at a booth and learn about that specific School of Choice.
The 2013 Fall Frenzy event is scheduled for November 9 at the Cajundome Convention Center.
