In January 1886 the board received a report that 606 children had been enrolled in 1885; there were 135 white children and 471 black children. The board agreed to open 11 schools in February for a term of six months. There were five schools for white children and six for black children. The teachers were to be paid not more than $40 a month.
A petition signed by A. Guilaume, C.A. Bourgeois, M.L. Cox and Coy Clinton from the Baumgarten school area was presented. They said the school was in dilapidated condition and they asked the board to allow them to use the building for a Sunday school and private school at the end of the public school term in return for making all repairs needed.
The teachers for 1886 were named at the April board meeting. They were Miss Zulema Bourgeois, Mrs. K.M. Haggerty, Miss P.A. Clanton, Miss Georgia Phillips, Mrs. M.C. Aitkens, Mrs. L.A. Evans, Miss Louiza White, Miss M.A. Thoroughgood and Mrs. M. Lawton.
Schools mentioned at this meeting were on Longue's Plantation and on Mrs. Lawton's Property. Visiting trustees were appointed for each ward. They were Ward 1, Joseph Stein and Charles A. Bourgeois; Ward 2, Arthur Robbins and Charles Gassen; Ward 3, P.M. Kenner and Schiller Marstires; Ward 4, R.E. Coche and William Taylor; Ward 5, James Williams and Harrison Roe.

We dropped in yesterday at the private school kept by Miss Rosa Fleming, located on Shaw St., opposite Col. Owen McLeron's, and was surprised to see the agreeable change made in the little building by the hand of a woman. We are pleased to see she has begun and trust that she will be encouraged in her laudable effort by a large increase in the number of her scholars.

School in 1883
School board minutes: in May 1883, the names of the teachers were given as Miss Zulema Bourgeois, Mrs. K. M. Haggerty, Miss Rosa Fleming, Miss Lizzie Terchert, Miss Mary C. Manny, Miss Amanda M. Perkins, Miss Mary E. Pendergast, Miss Elizabeth Townsend, Miss Mary A. Thoroughgood and Mrs. Arabella Dessauers.
The Rev. W. C. Johnson was given permission to use the schoolhouse in the First Precinct of the First Ward for church meetings of the Rising Sun Baptist Church.
St. Charles Herald,7 Jul 1883
The closing exercises of our public schools took place last Friday and Saturday; two of which we were well repaid in attending. We visited Mrs. Kate M.Haggerty's school for whites, somewhat late on Friday evening, but from what we witnessed, it was evident that the scholars had received careful training, as well as diligent attention from their devoted teacher, as was evidenced by the remarkable improvements. Great praise is due to Mrs. Haggerty for the careful supervison of the children, about thirty-five in number, under her charge.
Miss Rosa Fleming, of the colored school of Flaggville, had quite a creditable exhibition on Saturday last, consisting of recitation, orations, songs, hymns, etc. She has over one hundred scholars on the roll, which is certainly too many for one person- but, notwithstanding the large number, they are under very good control and discipline and she is entitled to no small amount of praise.
