Kiroli Elementary School

Do not send your children to this school if at all possible! Politically influenced by money and who the principal and teachers know. This school has a reputation and a legacy history for only caring about the parents income. Look at the school website! Email a random teacher and see if they respond (ha)! Technology challenged is an understatement (because scanning and attaching a homework worksheet is so hard). These are the people teaching our children. The new principal is worse than the last one, continuous nasty notes sent home every week harassing the parents about being one minute late. The administrative staff is a joke and it will take 15 minutes to check in your child if you are late due to traffic or any other unforeseen issue. Monroe City School Board needs to send in a David Claxton type to clean this school up. Lexington's principal will never be as good as David Claxton. Be thankful when your child moves on to Sallie Humble! David Claxton obviously reminded the Lexington teachers who transitioned to his school that they will love and care about their students - bottom line! SINGLE MOTHER'S BEWARE these teacher's despise and judge you...no matter what you do.

If you are a conservative white Christian, this school is excellent for you! However, children and staff will treat you badly if you are different. Some employees, not all. My family has been the target of discrimination on the part of the principal, Mr. Welch. The school board has been called and e-mailed numerous times, yet they make no effort to resolve the issue. My kids told others they weren't Christians, and the bullying that followed was so awful they want to leave the school and transfer to another one where they can pretend to be Christians. That strikes me as a significant issue. Louisiana appears to have lost sight of our nation's commitment to religious liberty. Freedom from religion is also implied by this. The school needs to resolve the issue.

CCS is a great school. My son loves it here and is doing great in school. He is in 4th grade and is testing extremely well and is reading at a 9th grade level.

A lot of people have come on this site in anger and pointed fingers at people they had unresolved, personal problems with. That does not reflect this school. Others have complained about the school's rules. While some are a bit extreme, everyone is able to read the handbook BEFORE they send their child here. As a former student, I really know what NBS is like. It's small so yes there is drama and there will be people who disagree about how things should be run. My experience was not negative though. The classes are easily passed if the student does their part in contributing to their work. There are no try outs for sports so students can get as involved with their classmates as they wish. No one is left out and everyone can have a friend. Don't send your kid there to find god or to get fixed though because they won't. A lot of the students have bad morals and are never confronted about breaking the rules unless they cause the school problems. It is very partial. But despite the MANY problems, NBS was good for me. I was able to figure out who I am in the less hectic environment where at public school I was lost. If your child needs a change, NBS should be an option.

Grace is the best academic experience you are going to get in the area. The teachers are incredible and the level of attention that your children receive is unbeatable. It is also more diverse and inclusive than most other private schools in the area. We love our little school!
