Education[edit]

Residents are assigned to schools in the Jefferson Parish Public Schools system.[10]

K-8 schools that include portions of Estelle include:[11] Allen Ellender, Estelle, Congetta Trippe Janet, and Harry Truman.[12][13] A portion in the north of the CDP is zoned to Pittman Elementary,[12] and Marrero Middle School.[13] Most residents are zoned to John Ehret High School, while some are zoned to L.W. Higgins High School in Marrero.[14]

In regards to advanced studies academies, residents are zoned to the Marrero Academy.[15]

Previously Ellender was solely a middle school, and Estelle was divided between Ellender and Truman at the middle school level.[16] Therefore, Ellender did not serve any portions of Estelle at the elementary level.[17] In the mid-2010s, Miller Wall Elementary in Marrero included parts of Estelle.[18] Schools that served Estelle for middle school in the mid-2010s were Ellender PK-8, Truman Middle in Estelle, and Worley Middle in Harvey.[19]
