We have been very happy with St. Lucy School. The teachers, faculty, and administration are caring and supportive, and they truly want the best for their students. The parent volunteers are amazing and make a big difference in the school experience. St. Lucy has a wonderful sense of community, and the involvement of families and staff makes it a very special place. read more

My kids have been attending St. Lucy's for the past four years, and it has been such a wonderful experience for our family. The teachers are not only friendly and welcoming, but they truly care about each student's success. They take the time to get to know your child -- and your family -- and go above and beyond to support their learning and growth. What stands out just as much as the staff is the incredible community. You've probably heard the phrase, "It takes a village." Well, it's true! I feel genuinely supported and safe here, and it's more than just a school -- it's become a second family. If you're looking for a school that blends strong academics with a nurturing and connected environment, I wholeheartedly recommend St. Lucy School. It's been a blessing for our family! read more

My kids are very happy to be at St. Lucy School. The community experience is excellent. This school is home for our family.

My kid loved kindergarten here. They handled Covid appropriately and I love the sense of community. Can't wait to see what the upcoming years hold. Great staff and great kids/families! read more

I Went to Giáo Ly and Viet Ngu for 3 years and it was outstanding

Saint Lucy's school is a preK-8th grade preschool, elementary and middle school that is still run by sisters (Notre Dame). They have 317 students. Tuition is $6.3k. The school has AC, something rare in many Catholic schools where kids have to endure hot days. There are 2 buildings that look like the church. The one on the Southern end is the church, the other one used to be the church, but is now the gym. The school has been good about actively upgrading older buildings. The school also has an active Girl and Boys Scouting program. read more

St. Lucy School - Elementary Schools Near Me - Campbell, California

My two kids have been enrolled in St. Lucy school for 6 years now and I can't say enough about how great the community here is. The most incredible part about the school is the families that go here, everyone looks out for each other and for the good of the school. The teachers are incredibly kind, don't issue too much homework, and yet have the ability to keep kids hitting top scores in the country when testing time comes around. There are lots of school functions and the kids are always excited to come back to see friends. read more

I would really reconsider going to Saint Lucy's. Our issues actually began early on in pre-K when our child was bitten by another child in his class. It was handled very poorly to say the least. I wasn't even notified until hours later when I came to pick him up who still had bite marks on his arm. The school did nothing about the incident, even after we reported it to the school's principal. Apparently the other child and his parents were talked to about the incident but no disciplinary action was taken. That same child then bit another student that same year and again, no consequences. After that incident, that same child spit in another child. In 1st grade, my son reported an incident to his teacher and she called him a tattletale. This was after all the kids were told to do that very thing by their teacher instead of handling issues themselves. His teacher actually called her own student a tattletale. More recently (this school year) my son would approach a group of students at recess or lunchand they would make disparaging comments to him- asking him 'why are you following us around?' and some students even told my son that nobody likes him. We have had multiple conversations with his teacher as well as the principal. The principal,was very quick to point out my son's faults but had nothing to say about the other students. Also this year there was an incident where a group of students were kicking him. After the incident, my son reported it to the teacher's aide- she replied "well it's not happening now". I brought it to the attention of his teacher as well as his principal. The principal's response to us was that the girls had been spoken to but she (school principal) was very upset that my son was not properly "social distancing". So my son is closer than 6ft from another student and gets in trouble but a group of kids kick him (multiple times) and this is completely disregarded by the teachers aide and the school's principal. Another day, my son was shoved multiple times by another student (the student who bit him and another student in the past). I told my son that, if it starts to get physical again, to go to the office and call me. My son went to the office and they wouldn't  allow him to call me. So I didn't find out about this incident until hours later. More recently, a couple students were throwing rock at him. This incident happened at the beginning of the day and I didn't find out about it until I picked him up at the end of the day. Some of the teacher here and great. But be very careful with your children here. Not to mention, some of the parents have become very "clicky" over the past few years. It's like junior high all over again and then you have to worry about their safety too. Due to these reasons, we are forced to change schools next year. Speaking to the vice principal/s and staff at some of the other schools we have looked at, there are a fair amount of families that have been looking to leave Saint Lucy's for similar reasons. read more

I have been a part of the St. Lucy community since as far back as I can remember. My older brother went to K-8th grade here and still remains connected with friends from his class and attends alumni events. I have always loved this community and I new that I wanted my children to experience a catholic education. This community goes above and beyond to make our school special. We are one big family and my son has built strong friendships that will last a lifetime. He enjoys going to school everyday. All the teachers are wonderful. I always recommend this school to everyone I know. read more

It is a very sheltered environment that does not prepare kids for high school or the real world. The elementary school is fine, but middle school does not prepare students for high school. read more

This school was recommended to us by a family member and we have been so thrilled with the change. Our son has grown so much academically and socially and we as a family have been overwhelmingly welcomed by this kind community. We appreciate the emphasis on service and standing up for others. The teachers and staff are very open and helpful, we are excited to be on this new adventure! read more

Wonderful community. Our daughter is getting a well rounded education and has developed strong friendships. Highly recommended.

We transferred here last year in 5th grade. My daughter was welcome with open arms. She has excelled in all subjects and loves the school.

Both of our kids attend St. Lucy Parish School and love it! When selecting a school, it was very important for us to find a warm and family friendly environment for our children. We got that impression after meeting the faculty at the open house and are happy to report that after 6 years we continue to experience that same feeling. We like all the opportunities to participate and volunteer at the school and feel well connected to the faculty. read more

My daughter attends this school and is thriving. They really focus on the whole child from academics to citizenship. These children are kind, courageous, well spoken and polite. The acceptance rates into top tier Catholic High Schools is phenomenal. read more

Wonderful community, caring teachers, and talented students! As a parent, you are encouraged to join and participate in many activities, however you are not pressured. The staff and teachers inspire the students daily to surpass their individual goals. Spiritual activities and community service are significant to their program, enhancing the students' experience. A drawback is that there could always be more in the Fine Arts program, or additional electives in Junior High. I'm optimistic that the situation will improve because things are always changing for the better. Most of all, my kids are happy! read more

Awesome community builds great, well rounded kids. Lucky to have both our kids thriving in an amazing place! My kids have been super happy here, and it's a fantastic group of families. read more

This is a very family-centered Christian school with values woven throughout the curriculum. This alum is pleased to be part of the community as a parent now. read more

My daughter has been in St. Lucy Parish School since she was in Kindergarten and is currently in Grade 5. I can't say enough about the community and what a wonderful school this is. The faculty and staff are amazing and really care about the children and their success. My daughter is happy and has made friendships that I know will last a lifetime and I can say the same for us as parents! read more

Our two kids have been very happy here! At first we were skeptical because let's face it, the outside isn't anything exciting. But once you walk in, it's a different picture. The money spent on upgrades has been put to good use, with an amazing library and computer center, a new after school care center and Pre-K room, plus state-of-the-art TV's, projectors and iPads in each classroom with today's technology (no 70s class lessons, thank you very much). Plus the staff here is fantastic! Laurie Galdes is the school Administrator and who I consider the voice of this school. She seriously does it all! She knows everything going on and how to make things happen. She is friendly, bubbly, and a go-getter. She also isn't emotional and knows how to handle things professionally. The principal Miss Grover has been a teacher here for like 25 years and is such an advocate for the school. She has been the principal for a few years now and has been making great strides in the continual improvements. She isn't stuck in the old ways, but instead wants to constantly better the school, not only for the students but for the teachers and parents as well. I greatly appreciate that teachers are moved around (or moved out) if they aren't best suited for the position they're in. It's not about tenure here, it's about being a good teacher and making a great impact on the students, and I feel that St Lucy's has really proven themselves here. The teachers have been amazing! It truly takes a village and feels like a family here. Now I just need to get my "family" to upgrade with some modern paint colors (brown trim be gone!). read more

Excellent school the teaching staff are fantastic, my children love it. The connections that the school have to Great high schools are phenomenal read more

I have a 5th and 7th grader at St Lucy. They both started at kindergarten. Our family loves the school because of its small size and community. We came here to create a good foundation for our kids before entering high school. They love it here and have made many great friends. read more

My three children are currently enrolled in St Lucy school and loving it. The school provides a safe and welcoming environment for the children and parents. The academics are top notch and the community is the best. They have so many extra curricular activities ... Homework club, math club, chess club, Lego robotics, multiple sports programs and drama to name but a few. Highly recommend this school - tours available year round, just call to set one up. read more

They don't care about the kids. They don't want to teach they want parents to pay for private tutoring that they choose. If you can't pay for appropriate tutoring, your child is shunned. They pick and choose the kids they want and kick the rest out. The pastor of the Church will not get involved either. The principal has no regard for the children. Regardless of grades, your child can be kicked out if they deem it necessary. No wonder young people are leaving the Catholic Church. Look into other options before choosing a school like this. It leaves a bad taste. I would never recommend this school to anyone. read more

St. Lucy has been a perfect fit for my family. This school is small and intimate. From the outside, most people have no idea that there is an amazing school located by the church. It is nearly invisible from Winchester, and you can only see part of it from Kennedy. You truly have to tour the school to see what the campus has to offer. There are so many unique, amazing things that St.Lucy's offers to its students! You can never fit it all into a brochure. There are many special traditions that are never advertised. For example, when the Kindergarten class graduates to First grade, there is a large church ceremony followed by a beautiful reception in the garden for all the families and extended families. This garden reception is hosted by the First Grade parents to welcome the Kindergarteners officially into the main school. How Awesome is that?! Most grades have active Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops which hold their own activities and traditions. For example, every year all St.Lucy's Girl Scout troops host a mother-daughter tea party for Mothers Day. The girls plan and execute this special day entirely themselves. It is an amazing tradition. The Buddy Program is an awesome program which facilitates friendships across grade levels. My daughter has a friend in every grade which is wonderful. I think the Buddy program is a great bully-deterent, not that that has ever once been an issue. If you want a small school with solid family values and a close-knit community to raise your children, take a tour. Its an oasis of support in the overly competitive Silicon Valley. Every family is encouraged to have their children shadow to see if St.Lucy's is a good fit. read more
