(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I am a former student of J.J.Davis -- Ivan Hoey. I remember it like yesterday; indeed it was a great school, I just wish I could have finished my time there. I was in the 5th Grade during Hurricane Katrina so that is why I haven't completed my time. Other then that J.J.Davis was an outstanding school.

- Joe Davies is blessed with an outstanding principal. Nobody worked harder and more effectively for the schools after Katrina. She is a credit to the teaching profession.
