About Us

Estelle school is located in Marrero, Louisiana and is a public school in the Jefferson Parish Public School System. Estelle was originally the Samuel Howe School, before being renamed Estelle.  Estelle is located in a suburban community and the school is comprised of Pre-K through 8th grade students.

Vision Statement

The vision of Estelle School is to develop a culture of high-quality, standards-based teaching where all students have the opportunity to thrive in a just, fair and caring learning environment. As a result, our students will be able to transition efficiently through middle school to high school. 

Mission Statement

With the support of the Estelle community, our mission is to:

1. Use a diagnostic and prescriptive approach to support student mastery of foundational standards by the time they complete the 3rd grade. 
2. Develop rich learning opportunities where students access Tier-1, grade-level instructional materials that support the needs of all learners.  
3. Encourage students to have a growth mindset where there is no fear of failure. Rather, productive struggle is valued and students take ownership of their learning.
