Caddo is home to the three highest academic performing schools in the state of Louisiana but that success is not enough. The district is constantly improving and is focusing its attention on improving programs in lower performing schools. As a school system on the move, Caddo accepts the challenge of being the major architect of an improved city, parish, and state. More than 45,000 youngsters, from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade, learn every day from 3,600 teachers and administrators. The system's total staff of 6,600 makes it the largest employer in Caddo Parish.
Diversity is evident in both student population and school communities.
The district covers 889 square miles and encompasses urban centers, suburban neighborhoods, and rural towns and communities. Caddo teacher salaries are regionally competitive and are consistently among the highest in the state. Attractive working conditions such as smaller class sizes, professional development opportunities and community support make Caddo an employer of choice for many educators. Caddo's schools, with a proud tradition of excellence, are destined for even greater educational achievements as Caddo reaches out and attracts the best educators available. Information about other positions with the Caddo Parish School System will be added to the section soon.
