This is a decent school with decent state test scores.... nothing great, just decent. I've enjoyed all the employeeS until the moment I turned in a transfer sheet to take my daughters to an "A" school. I received no call backs from any phone calls and just keep being ignored whether by ignoring calls, emails, or even when I would show up at school. It got bad enough that school board needed to get involved..... you can tell about someone's character when things don't go their way. I've seen their character and I'm deeply disappointed. Only reason I gave 2 stars instead of one is because my daughter really enjoyed her teachers.

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.

Mommy of a 15 month old babygirl…read more Let me begin by emphasizing that my husband is extremely hands on with our daughter he doesn't miss a single doctors appointment or activity she does 95% of the time. Education and social development are extremely important to him and I. That being said he doesn't believe in school under the age of 3. That all changed after our tour at KLA with Eileen (not sure if the spelling is correct). We arrived and first impression was amazing. You first have to walk through TWO doors to reach the children's hallway. The staff greets EVERY parent and student by name. The facility is spotless and it seems every corner has items to make your child think. We saw the outdoor space, art room, and classrooms all amazing. The instructors seemed very hands on with every child. Classrooms were setup prior to children returning from recess with the activity they would be performing that day (very organized). And everyone we met was super patient especially Eileen, she answered every single question in a way that did not feel rushed and you could tell she had a great passion for KLA. When the tour ended she even invited us to return for a mommy and me class so we could get a better feel how a child's day at school would go. This is what sealed the deal for my husband. The classroom we observed was interactive, engaging and most importantly felt SAFE. We asked if we could step out for 5 mins to see what it would feel like to leave our child alone with unfamiliar people. We were permitted to observe from a window. Clearly our babygirl cried.. the instructor comforted her and read her a book and the tears were gone within 3 mins. Nothing during our mock trail felt forced or fake it seemed genuine. Parents walking the hallway were smiling, one even told us they love the school for their children. We met with the director and were given prices.. to be honest the monthly fee is expensive compared to other school we have toured. However, when you experience the KLA culture, the staff and community the tuition becomes priceless when our child's development is on the line. She hasn't started and won't till the new school year but so far Eileen has made a profound impression on our family and we have never felt so confident in our decision. At the end of the school year I will review again on the progress our babygirl has made. THE BEST IS YET TO COME :)

Pamela and Ayleen are super caring and attentive to any inquiries and called me to update me on my child when the drop off was difficult and emotional. I am so glad this school exists and glad this was my child's first school experience.

From the day I visited this school I new this was the place. I'll start by saying that the school is in a great neighborhood. Drop off is pretty organized. Like all schools there's always a long line but it moves quickly. Academically I'm impressed. The curriculum is challenging and keeps the students engaged. During open house I got to meet the teachers. They all seemed so enthusiastic and eager to provide the best education possible. Smart boards and computers are a part of the learning tools. Love that this is a tech savvy school. Several times I have been to the school I have noticed security and staff around. The school appears clean and well kept. There are plenty of magnet strands available for any child with a talent to explore. All of which tap into and broaden your child's interests. Go wizards!

Our child has applied to this school for three consecutive years. We come from a strong Christian…read morefamily, and our faith and Christian values were a major reason we continued pursuing this school. Each year, our child completed the observations and assessments and received nothing but positive feedback about how well they did. Yet every year, we were waitlisted and ultimately never offered admission, without ever receiving a genuine explanation as to why. After three years, this process has left us questioning how fair and transparent admissions truly are and whether status, connections, favoritism, or nepotism play a role. From our experience, the process simply did not reflect the honesty, fairness, sincerity, and Christian values we expected from a faith-based school. As a Christian family, we have prayed about it and come to believe that perhaps God was protecting our child from an environment that was not meant for them. If this is how families are made to feel during admissions, we can only question what the culture is like on the inside. After three years of disappointment, we will not be applying again. Christian values should be demonstrated through actions, not simply through a school's name or reputation.
