Wow! Nov. was quite the pick me upper month. I agree, some things were harshly said. When observed I did notice some of those 'absurd and negative' comments that were made. Look, this school from what I can see is good on their curriculum but, their attitudes do honestly need an adjustment. I know
... Read more that sometimes being in an administrative position sometimes have their harsh words, and unhappy people. Make changes within yourselves. Sometimes I think that the administrators seem to forget that they (the parents) need you(the faculty and staff) as much as you need the parents. Because without each other it DOES NOT work. Think about that before saying things to those parents who do have issue with the faculty and staff. Read less

I'm a parent that had a child attend Little Flower School from kinder through the 8th grade. I read all the reviews on this site and agree with most by saying that academics, including instruction on christian morality, is second to none. Informative and dedicated faculty create a fun and supportive
... Read more learning environment. This is due in large part by a charasmatic principal that, through her leadership, makes the performance of her staff that much better. Security is also a priority at the school. I'm aware of certain rules and procedures that are in place to keep everyone safe. Contrary to some complaints, there is communication between teachers and parents, which is essential to the student's education and well being. The negative and absurd comments made against the principal and staff is simply a reminder that every year a few parents(and teachers) feel they are above the rules. Read less

However, WE ALL need to remember, this is their job, their profession & for some, their passion. And I respect and admire that. Instead of voicing our issues anonymously, lets us take this opportunity to work with the great school, not against. Read less

I am a parent of a student at Little Flower School. My child has been a life long student in public school until this year. I transferred her from a top performing public school to LIttle Flower because of the high standards the school sets. The principal and teachers have high expectations of their

I saw a change in my child's attitude about life and school almost immediately after putting her in LFS.

Little Flower Catholic School is a tradition of educational excellence on the West Side of San Antonio. When other schools are closing in the neighborhood due to a strained economy, LFS welcomes families with open arms. Unfortunately, not every school is a perfect fit for every family. I feel sad
... Read more that some people have never learned how to voice their concerns in a Christian manner, but prefer to degrade others in order to justify their hurt feelings. Perhaps we should use the children's smiles, high test scores, and community service opportunities to measure the success of the overall program and not look for individual persons to blame for areas we feel the school falls short of being perfect (as no school is). We continue to pray for one another and remember that it takes all of us (the entire village) to raise the children. Read less
