Barbe Elementary School

This school is GREAT! last year me and my two young children relocated to Lake Charles after i took a job offer in the area, & lets just say before i decided to move them from Prien Lake elementary (also in lake charles) we weren't happy about the move at all. My kids were struggling in school, the staff members were rude, drama-filled & to say the very less, unhelpful. Brentwood changed everything! the teachers are passionate about their students/ their job, they communicated very well & made sure my kids were getting the proper education! My kids got caught up with their grades & they actually loved waking up for school which is "rare" lol , thank you Mrs. Thompson & Mrs. Janauary for being awesome teachers!

This is a horrible school. Bullying is allowed and a blind eye is turned, especially if your child is the minority here. Teachers are allowed to bully your children as well as principals. If you want anything but a good, safe and friendly teaching environment for your children, this is the place for you. Education comes last here.

We have lived all over the U.S. and in different parishes in Louisiana. Prien Lake is an Exceptional School. The administration is by far the kindest and most committed group we have ever experienced. The teachers WANT to be there, it’s a competitive school for them to get in the door. We have imperfect children, so we’ve dealt with all levels at PLE from discipline with principals and counselors to IEP meetings, to Special Education… even their Front Office Staff is genuinely kind. They are big into positive reinforcement and awards for the children, and the kids love it! The school environment is one of Love, Respect, and Kindness. On top of all this they are passionate about educating AND manage to make the day FUN! We have never seen an elementary school do more for their students than PLE.

I have 5 children that attend Hamilton. My children range from Elementary age to High school age and they all love it! The teachers are wonderful and I feel my children are being academically and spiritually challenged. My favorite thing about Hamilton is the Principal Morgan Daughtery and the wonderful parents and students my children have been blessed to meet!

I can wholeheartedly recommend (Bishop Noland Episcopal Day School) to any parent looking for a top-tier educational experience. From the fantastic teaching staff to the welcoming atmosphere, it’s clear that this school prioritizes both academic excellence and the overall well-being of its students. The teachers are dedicated and create engaging lessons that inspire curiosity and learning.The leadership team is proactive, always seeking ways to improve and innovate, while the extracurricular options are diverse and help students develop a wide range of skills. The facilities are also great, creating a safe and modern environment for learning.I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the communication and support for parents, and it’s evident that this school truly values its community. If you want a school that focuses on both academic and personal growth, I can definitely recommend (Bishop Noland Episcopal Day School)!
