How is the Central (1996 graduate here) school system doing compared to Zachary?
Pretty close. I am told that Zachary has too many separate campuses. Only a couple grades per. Don't know if that is true though.
However, I can say that Central is right there as far as test scores go. And the recently built school for elementary is very very nice from the outside, haven't been in.

Central's move to consolidate multiple elementary schools to a single local in each grade is not a good one IMO. There's some pros because with bigger classes you can more accurately segregate them into tiers so that the best students are in classes with other good students.
However, Central has roughly the same land area as the city of Baton Rouge so they have to cover a lot of ground. Granted that is common in rural areas but the population of central is large enough to support two schools in each grade.
Zachary on the other hand is less than half the population and about 1/3rd the land area of Central. They need a single centrally located complex IMO.

There are a large number of campuses but they are full of students from what I have seen, at least in the lower grades.
They track the kids through each school a grade or two at a time rather than having X number of elementary schools covering multiple grades for different parts of town and then feeding into larger middle schools and high schools.
