Bayou View Elementary School

We have not had a single good experience at this school. If your child is in 5th grade they will be punished for the actions of other students via silent lunches and no recess. We have brought our concerns to the teacher and the school. We were dismissed. They refuse to hold the individual students accountable and instead punish the class as a whole. If you have the option to have your child attend bayou view then I highly suggest you do so.

Most of the staff are friendly and supportive i especially love the music art and pe staff the speech teacher and special ed staff are awesome principal is good and asst some of the the staff need to retire and give younger teachers jobs teaching is a gift and its rewarding but when you are just doing it to receive a paycheck or monetary value its time to retire and its always better to be kind and loving to everyone agree to disagree

This school is amazing! The special education department has done wonderful things with my son. He has progressed so much since he has been here. My daughter's behavior has been great with all her peers and teachers. This school has made me a proud mama!

Teachers lack experience, turnover is bad, classroom management poor and learning environment stressful. Administration is political, nepotism, authoritative leadership, favoritism, and does not address serious concerns. Administration makes unprofessional comments about other schools and jokes/laughs about PTSD on Facebook and at supporting events. Hypocrisy, preach the gospel but don’t model it to students.

Always heard great things about St James School, until I put my son in the PreK 2 program (21-22 school year). He turned 2 in July and started in August, so he was a very new 2 and he had a delay using his words. His teacher NEVER had 1 positive thing to say about my son and I was told by his teacher and the principal that because of his delay in speech that he was showing signs of autism (which I had him checked multiple times and he passed with no issues) and wasn’t a good fit for St James because of this which is very discriminatory and his teacher “just doesn’t have time” because this coming up year (22-23) they will have 20 2 yr olds in 1 class with 2 teachers. The main reason I paid 6k for my son to attend this school was what I thought smaller classes so the teachers would be able to have more one on one time. However, that wasn’t the case. If you’re on the waiting list or thinking about enrolling your child in the Pre K 2 program here. I highly recommend you not wasting your money on this one please find another program because this one just isn’t a good one.
