Hite Elementary School

I went to school here when I was younger and now my daughter has started here. I have really enjoyed our experience and absolutely loved the new principle and all the teachers I've personally interacted with. My only concern was with homework. I felt that the homework my daughter had was way too easy and quick to do, and on weeks where they missed a day of school they cancelled homework for the entire week. Other than that, I highly recommend this school!

The most amazing school ever. The teachers, support staff, parents, facilities - the list goes on. What a treasure!

One of the best elementary schools in JCPS by far, great teachers, great admin, great curriculum

We have been at CAL 7 years and it has been an amazing blessing in our whole families life! I can’t imagine sending my children anywhere else!

If your Christian faith matters and you want to nurture a genuine love of Jesus in your child, pursue a strong Bible-believing church and family discipleship. This school does not edify children spiritually, and leadership dysfunction risks creating resentment toward Christianity itself. Academics are below local public schools.Teachers are largely mission-driven but often young and inexperienced. Turnover is high due to low pay relative to public school pay. Our child lost academic ground while enrolled and recovered quickly after leaving for public school with more experienced educators.Discipline is inconsistent and often shows favoritism toward athletes or well-connected students. Bullying is inadequately addressed, including when evidence is clear.Affluence is expected at private schools, and this one is no exception. While not inherently bad, it can blind students to the realities most kids face, particularly in public schools. More money often brings more problems, and some students develop a strong sense of entitlement—very much a “born on third, thought they hit a triple” mindset.By the time we decided to leave I was very concerned that my kid was on the wrong track. A year later he has been recognized as student of the month, is in beta club, has a strong friend group and is much happier. Most importantly, his faith has also grown stronger since we left. Save the $150,000-$200,000 (K-12), invest in college, and pair public school with a strong church community. If choosing faith-based education in Louisville, the Catholic schools do it better with higher academic rigor.

We came from the public elementary school system into St Patrick in the 6th grade. My sone loved it immediately. The staff, students, and parents were all welcoming and made us all feel at home and at ease. My son thrived in academics and tried all of the sports. I would highly recommend St Patrick school!
