Get a new front desk receptionist - unnecessarily rude

This school is ok but i was going to cedarcrest and i got into a fight on the bus becase i told her to cut down the music. I was in 2d grade and a girl bullied and i got into a fight wit her and my mom came to my school and i got a wooping

They have targeted my child as a problem child when she’s brand new to the school and is being bullied. She sticks up for herself and others and is still singled out. She’s was in 2nd grade and finished her last 3 months there and was crying before school everyday. Her teacher was rude to her and does not handle problems well. One of the faculty members hit my vehicle multiple times because my daughter was wearing shorts a smidge too short for dress down day, i simple phone call to get new clothes would have sufficed.

If you're child has a disability that has not been diagnosed yet, I recommend not sending them here. We were told the school would work with us while we were waiting for a diagnosis, but this is not true. He's 5 and got suspended after attending for less than a month. They just look at him as any other "troublemaker" instead of viewing it as something he can't control. When asking about these things, the principal wanted to talk about numbers and statistics rather than what we can do to help the individual child. She said until he has a diagnosis there's nothing they will do, even though we were told different in the beginning. Considering they are a failing school, it seems that bringing up statistics is a moot point, especially when we're calling trying to discuss the issues with our child.

After 14 years at St. Luke's I am sad to see our time there come to a close. Both my children started in PK3 and it has been a wonderful, nurturing environment. The facukity and staff make sure each family feels welcomed and important. They truly have every child's best interest at heart. My son is a junior at Catholic High and has accelled academically and has the confidence to be a leader. My daughter will graduate in May and we feel extremely confident that she is well prepared academically and socially for high school. St. Luke's provided our children with an opportunity to explore their talents outside the classroom. Students have the opportunity to participate in several sports and middle school students can select theater as an elective. This year the production was Aladian Jr and it was amazing. Middle School students also have an opportunity to participate in area math competitions and easily take home several individual and team awards. The small class size allows teachers to get to know each child as an individual and provide extra help if needed or accelerated lessons if your child is ready to move ahead. Our family highly recommends St. Luke's.
