We've had a very positive experience overall. The school is well-organized, and the environment is…read moreboth structured and supportive. The teachers are truly kind and genuinely care about the students' growth. They're always willing to help and go the extra mile to make sure the kids understand the material and feel supported in their learning. Another thing I really appreciate is the variety of sports and extracurricular activities available. It gives the children a chance to explore different interests and stay active while building friendships outside the classroom. I would definitely recommend Our Lady of Lourdes to other families looking for a school that offers strong academics, caring teachers, and a well-rounded environment.

Choosing OLOL for our child's education has been one of the best decisions we have ever made. From…read morethe earliest years in kindergarten to him now preparing for 7th Grade, this school has fostered academic excellence, spiritual growth, and a strong foundation for lifelong learning. The nurturing environment and dedicated educators have made all the difference in shaping our child Sebastian's journey. Under the compassionate and dedicated leadership of the Principal Mrs. Cabrera, OLOL continues to stand out as a beacon of faith and academic excellence, offering the best elementary and middle private school education in Miami. She upholds the school's strong Catholic values, while ensuring students receive the highest academic instruction. Beyond academics, OLOL fosters a vibrant student life, where children are encouraged to develop their talents in sports, music, art and leadership activities. With the church at the heart of the school community, students grow in their faith alongside their education. We are immensely proud of our child's outstanding academic achievements, which reflect the school's rigorous academic standards and unwavering support. OLOL has nurtured not only his intellectual growth, but has also shaped him into a distinguished young gentleman with strong moral character. With the strong foundation he has built here, our shining star is ready to embrace the future with limitless possibilities!

If I could give this school 0 stars I would. This school has gotten worse and worse every year but…read morethe last two years it has been the worst. The teachers have no compassions for their students. If your child does not behave 100% perfect, they zero in on them and the entire year they are the problem child. My child has not been able to participate in any of the activities throughout the year as punishment for all the "behaving bad and not making an effort" when he got a 4 on one of his FAST tests. The teachers pick and choose which students they like or don't and then make their lives living hells. And the principal? Always defends the teachers no matter what and the child is always the issue. While I know that my child is not perfect, neither are the rest of the students and it is unfair that my child has been treated this way by ADULTS that should be teaching empathy and compassion. I hope that this review helps other working parents like myself. If you are not a stay at home mom that can be at that school at all times of the day and donating and giving money every five seconds then you and your child will be mistreated. Nobody at that school has any compassion for those kids or their parents. Thankfully this will be my son's last year there as I have removed him to another school for next year. I hope one day the school board is informed of all this and shuts them down but I highly doubt it.

Before you take the easy step of enrolling your child in this school I would advise that you ask…read moresome parents on the parking lot or at least do a research. This is the worst school I could had ever chosen for my child. He started going here on first grade, he is on 3rd grade now. The amount of problems this school has are endless. The principal will never see you no matter how many times you call front desk requesting a meeting! I HAVE ASKED TO SPEAK TO YOU FOR OVER 4 MONTHS NOW AND YOU WON'T MAKE AN APPOINTMENT!!! What type of principal doesn't show concern for a parent asking to speak to them for that long? The art teacher Ms. Artmendi is the worse. Her idea of making a parent aware of a child not doing well is sending little notifications on ClassDojo without making any time to have an actual meeting to assist the kids into doing better. I could drop names for days of all the bad teachers on this school for days. People that pick this carrier for the 9:00 - 5:00 job instead of actually respecting what being an educator represents in a child's life. DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD HERE. You will be wasting the kids life. There absolutely nothing that the teach more than the bear minimum. The only teachers I have seen here that actually go above and beyond for their kids are Mrs. Finnin and Mrs. Barbosa. Maria the lady in front of the ADHD program is ver sweet. The only people that actually tried helping my child in all the time he has being attending this school. Not all kids are on with following a program that makes them slow mentally! We are on different times! Use technology for more than just showing movies! Stop limiting kids to learn in such basic ways that don't actually help them in their future! Hire teachers that actually know how to connect with little kids! You cannot treat small kids like adults! I am at the front desk of this school since 8:00 am waiting to speak to the principal and it is 10:07 am and she is still busy!
