Old Bonhomme Elementary School

Terrible this was my child 1st yr as a kindergartner and his teacher, counselor and staff made my child feel like he was less than. His kindergartner teacher ignored him but help other kids, My son cries every morning before he goes to school, also secretary and counselor will not allow me to walk my son to class they will not allow me to sit in his class teacher does not want me in class to watch him. This has been my son worst first yr. Does not recommend if your black or African american.

This school has all the diversity of a big city in one small school. The love poured into this school is truly felt by my two children. It's heart warming to her them sing bible songs at home learned in chapel and music class. There is only one class per grade so the kids are building great friendships with their classmates as they progress from grade to grade together. As parents we always look forward to the quarterly parent/teacher meetings to see all the progress the kids have made. Last year a healthy handmade breakfast and lunch was prepared at the school by a chef and several culinary students which we were very proud of. The school has several raised vegetable garden beds and a native prairie on the property which is great connection, however I don't feel much attention is given to the garden by students as much as I would like to see. The one area needing more attention I feel is physical education. Last year this only happened twice a week. I do understand this is already being looked at however and have heard they are hoping to add sport team opportunities next year.

My son has attended Immanuel Lutheran School (Olivette) for three years. He absolutely loves the school, teachers, and the staff. Immanuel emphasizes the importance of values and builds leaders through each of their classes and lessons. Immanuel brings out the best in every child by tapping into their individual strengths. It creates an environment that is Christ-centered, filled with kindness, and creates responsibility and leadership. The teachers at Immanuel Lutheran School are patient, engaging, energetic, and passionate about seeing their students succeed. If you are looking for an amazing school for your child in this general area, I highly recommend you schedule a tour!
