Jack Hayes Elementary School

I love this school..I have 3 children that attends and have been attending for 3 years now and I will not change their school unless we move out of state..the teachers actually care and are involved at school and also checks on my children during breaks..summer etc...if you ever have the pleasure of meeting Mr Cleveland mouton I highly recommend him as a teacher for your 3rd grader...he has stepped in tremendously with helping with my son who suffers from ADHD daily and he keeps him on task and I'm very thankful for that man even this year he still manages to check up on him and assist him with anything he needs and he is now in 4th grade so I salute cypress point on having excellent staff!!!!!!

If I had it to do over again, I would homeschool my child before sending him to Lakeshore. It was a terrible experience. We didn't even realize how bad it was until we moved to another district. At his current school my child is thriving. He is organized. He is a productive member of his class. He no longer roams the halls or his classroom. His social skills are right on target. At Lakeshore he was just being babysat and passed along. I hope Lakeshore will make major changes and improve for the sake of their children and their future.

My son was enrolled in PreK-4 at OLF during the 2011-2012 school year and we both loved it! They always planned exciting events and stressed active parental involvement. Unfortunately, my son was diagnosed with Asperger's Disorder and delayed speech, and therefore, he needed special education services. Because OLF is a small privately-funded school, they do not have the financial resources to handle special needs students and the teachers can't give extra attention to those with learning disabilities because many of them don't have assistants/teacher's aids. For those reasons, I had to pull him from this small, intimate environment and place him in a public school (which, as it turns out, is also a great institution). Aside from that, I think OLF is a fantastic start for a child's development and academic career. Not only does it engage and stimulate a youngster's active imagination, it also gives him a strong spiritual foundation upon which he can base his beliefs and choices for the future.

Among the best around. Louisiana schools are as a whole behind. No matter where you go there are issues. Perfect schools do not exist. I know of plenty of outstanding families and kids that go to OCS. OCS is a private school, operated by tuitions and fees. This is not racism but economics. If you want go and have money for it then go to OCS
