First southern elementary school to be compelled to de-segregate under various court orders. 6 year old student Ruby Bridges attended school here starting on November 14, 1960 and was commemorated by Norman Rockwell in the painting The Problem We All Live With.

The school may or may not currently be open due to Katrina related damage and demographic changes.
