Chenoweth Elementary School

OLOL school has been a blessing to our family over the past 9 years. Our children have been taught to be good stewards of their communities, to love and respect others, and always believe in their own value. There are so many ways for students and families to participate and be involved. The teachers and school staff care deeply about the kids. They have worked with us to address the learning differences of our daughter. Both of our children are excelling in their studies. OLOL continues to meet National Blue Ribbon standards, and just received formal recognition for a second time just a few years ago. We love Lourdes, and are proud to be Bearcats!

I used to be a student here and honestly my experience was horrible, these teachers don’t care about the students and ignore all students if they need help. I have had times when teachers have talked about kids to other teachers and just been completely rude to others. The teachers only care about them selves and the students can not be themselves. The teachers are not motivational and are very self centered. This school makes you have to be friends with everyone and pushes your kid to be a different kid. The middle school is absolutely horrible and does not prepare you for high school. If you are thinking about putting your kid in this school, DON’T!!

If you are searching for a school for your child, I strongly suggest Sacred Heart Model School. My children are both graduates of Sacred Heart Model School. The student to teacher ratio is one of the best you will find in Louisville. The teachers are dedicated and caring. The teachers follow the IB practices and encourage ALL students to become thinkers. The curriculum includes courses at the Sacred Heart School for the Arts. Therefore, educating the whole child. This offers opportunities to children who may not otherwise learn to play an instrument, perform in a play or dance. Our son, currently in college, recently shared that he did not know he was smart till he went to college. He was always surrounded with teachers and peers who challenged him. The Ursuline Core values of Community, Service, Leadership and Reverence are evident throughout campus. SHMS encourages all families and students to get involved. All students have service requirements. The Leadership opportunities on campus are incredible for all ages. The Catholic identity is evident in instruction and decisions made on behalf of the greater good for the community at large.

A good idea but execution fell apart. Students are not safe and do not learn.
