Posted by a parent on 3/27/2023Horrid. Except 6th grade. Do not recommend
Posted by a student on 11/16/2020I went there for all three years. The first year, was alright, the second year was okay, but 8th grade was the worst. A few things happened that were major, but I feel like nothing was done to combat it. Some of teachers are nice, but there are quite a few who had very poor learning methods, or didn’t make a strong impact on the learning of their students. Many of the kids in my year felt similar and most of us hated it there. I wouldnt say “dont sent your kid here” but I would warn you before you do send them there.
Posted by a community member on 9/28/2018I go to SMS. I am in 8th grade almost 9th. I say this school is a great school. The staff is nice for the most part. Some teachers are a little strick, but hey if they were all nice then it would be called school right?

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school says they have small class sizes, differentiate education, and can help kids who need an IEP. They didn’t have any of that. The pre-K class had well over 30 kids in it (with close to 30 coming on a daily basis), so it seemed like most of the day was spent in transitions (waiting for 30 kids to use the bathroom at once). My child was there for 6 months and they never figured out they could already read or do addition and subtraction. There were so many assistants and only one head teacher and they all had different expectations and reactions to behavior. We had an IEP going into the year and they kept saying they wanted to wait for a meeting to set up their own ISP until they knew her better, but they didn’t follow her IEP or agree to a meeting. They kicked us out after I formally requested a meeting because they “have asbestos in their ceiling and (my pre-k child) threw blocks at the ceiling.” No notice, just a call to tell us not to come back the next day. No goodbyes to teachers or classmates, nothing. The teacher even admitted she didn’t believe me when I told her what was needed. Even CDS offering more services didn’t change their mind. My child still has emotional scars from the experience and had months of nightmares. The things that were on her IEP were things that help all kids, like advanced notice about schedule changes, visual supports, and motor breaks. When we switched schools and they followed her IEP she was able to remain at the school without any additional supports than what she was getting at St. James. If you have a child with average intelligence and not a truly gifted child with the asynchronous development that comes with it, this is probably an okay school, but the classroom size is still way too large to really have much instruction time and they didn’t have all of the specials that were advertised like French lessons. Their reading instruction was also not science based. They were teaching the kids to look at the pictures to guess the words.Parent Review9mo ago - Notre Dame De Lourdes School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI graduated from Notre Dame School and my 2 daughters did as well. They went on to Thornton Academy and excelled in their studies and in sports. They both won the Student Athlete award in their senior year. They both graduated to the college of their choice. Notre Dame School gave them the foundation to succeed in whatever path they chose.Parent Review13y ago
