My daughter has just completed 2nd grade. Ms. Garanich & Ms. Pecot are top-notch! The students are well-prepared, both academically & socially, to move on to 3rd grade. All of her teachers (from homeroom to PE to Spanish) teach using the Love of Our Lord and the Blessings of Our Lady as their foundation.
... Read more I find that all teachers (from Pre-K to 8th) do the same, providing structure and a sense of personal responsibility. To paraphrase Fr. Kyle, we're giving our children the gift of good in a world that desperately needs those who truly care for others. Come for a School Mass---you'll see! Read less

3Rd grade has been incredible. Our new , mrs. Schneider is a wonderful teacher. Her patience & understanding is a+++. The other 3rd grade teacher has a completely differernt style--not warm and fuzzy-yet effective. She too is an excellent teacher. I have been warned that the upper grades after 4th

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

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... Read less

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

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!! Read less

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
... Read more 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. Read less

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.

Fantastic curriculum, dedicated teachers, and outstanding principle. I was blessed with an education from Our Lady of Lourdes more than 30 years ago and now my children get the opportunity to benefit from this educationally stimulating environment. I am MORE than pleased -- even after the struggles
