Hammond Westside Elementary Montessori School

My son is getting ready to attend his third year at the Lab school and I have nothing but good experiences. I absolutely loved the 2nd grade teacher. Since the public schools are so poorly rated in this area and the private schools are to expensive I have found this to be a great alternative to public school and the tuition is affordable.

This is a great school. My son has went to Pre-K and Kindergarten there and they have done a GREAT JOB with him!!! Thanks!

I have been a parent (continually) at Harvest Christian academy since Fall of 1995. I have graduated two children from Harvest and will graduate my last child this coming school year (2011-2012). My two HCA graduates are now juniors, one in college and one in high school. Over the last 16 years I have liked and disliked some things at Harvest school but the most important element of HCA, that hasn't changed, is the Christian principles and standards that all students are required to uphold. This school is a Bible based school that teaches core subjects: math, english/reading/literature, history, science, and physical education. THE TEACHERS at HCA are all Louisiana certified. The administration has worked amicably over the years each time I had a parental concern for my child. This past school year Harvest church blessed the school by completing the gymnasium. Thanks to Harvest church our basketball teams had a place on campus to practice! I am sad this is my families' last year at HCA. A GREAT CHRISTIAN SCHOOL!

I was excited for my son to attend Holy Ghost school. I supported every fundraiser and had planned to be very involved in the school. Sadly, the principal and teacher’s constant negativity towards my 3 year old son, and their toxic, irrational behavior drove me to pull my son out of the school after only two months. Very disappointed.

This school is awesome and my child enjoys going to school every day. She is learning more and more everyday. She comes home singing about the love of God. This a an A+ in my book.Ashley

This school has made a lasting impression on my now teenage son. He attended the school until he graduated from kindergarten. It was such a nurturing environment. His love of literature and math, inspired there, has lead to him to become at ease with any subject requiring these skills. He also continues to have a great aptitude for foreign languages. -Mrs. Haynes

They gave up on our 2.5 year old soon IMMEDIATELY because he would cry after anxiety during the first week of school??? We were told by the owner the school was not equipped with enough teachers to deal with a crying child throughout the day??? AVOID this school at all costs. There are MUCH better options in Hammond, LA if you are looking to enroll your child in a Montessori school.
