"This is the 5th year that my child has attended this school. It has been my experience that it is much better in the lower grades. Once they get to 5th grade, it leaves very much to be desired. Last year the language teacher was absent more than she was there. This left the children with a substitute for more than half the year. Then, this same teacher is allowed back to teach again. C'mon.... Is this really what you are paying for? I think that the current principal has been there way too long. They need to get this crusty guy out and put some newer, more fresh idea minded people in. My child will be attending another public school soon..."

"Couldn't have chosen a better school for my 4 children. Two boys and then two girls all attended pre-k through 8th grades. Two have graduated from Pope John Paul High School and did very well due to the excellent background they received at Lourdes. They were well prepared to compete with the students from St. Margaret and Lake Castle. One had the highest GPA in the school their senior year while taking 5 honor courses. They didn't just fall out of the sky and they were never classified as gifted. They were schooled at Our Lady of Lourdes. I commend the Principal, faculty and staff that work hard with the parents so that the students will have success in the academic life. YES their school bags are heavy. They do have homework almost every night. That's part of why they succeed. The school also has excellent exta curricular activities. Go see!!"

"My child started in the 1st grade 11 days before Hurricane Katrina. When we returned in December she was greeted w/ cheers by the other children. What a pleasure this school has been. This school was the reason we moved to Slidell from Mandeville. The school environment is wonderful, the church community is fantastic. Fathers Frank & Kyle are the two best priests I've ever listened to at mass. My child is getting a good education and wonderful guidance in her faith. I do feel that there is too much homework and we have to 'teach' our child in the evenings. AR program expectations are too much. Kids need to be kids too. The amount of homework leaves little time to have fun. I would recommend this school."

"Lower grades ok -- after 4th grade, look elsewhere -- unchristian behavior. Less emphasis should be put on trying to push SAT scores up and more emphasis on actually educating the children in lower grades. Tutoring is highly recommended -- you shouldn't have to pay for tutoring when paying tuition. After several years, had enough and finally pulled all kids (3 of them) out."

"I have only 1 child who just completed 1st grade. The teacher, Mrs. Cherie legendre, was spectacular! She utilized traditional and alternative teaching techniques throughout the school year creating excitment and enthusiasm from the students. I have no first-hand knowledge of the higher grades, but the pre-k and kindergarden are also excellent. My daughter will attend 2nd grade next school year. I wish all teachers could be as creative and caring as Mrs. Legendre!! R. Lupo"
