We were big supporters of this school until recent changes in leadership. We have spent many years on this campus as our older children thrived here. As much as we wanted the same for our younger children, it seems they have hired a principal who frankly doesn't seem to care about the parent's concerns or the overall future of the school. Any concern that a parent bring to her are swept under the rug. If you have concerns including bullying -don't say anything. She will not adress it and then worse, avoid the parents. Parents have brought concerns to the priest but the principal will hide behind her words saying she's "never heard this before". The principal seems to think parents don't communicate but we all know -she's not the right fit for this school. We are highly disappointed. Most of the teachers are wonderful. Junior high math is not. Again, the principal is aware - does nothing.

I would rate it 5 stars but administration seems is not impartial nor objective. The family's are wonderful, the kids are great and the teachers are phenomenal.

This is a great school. The parent community makes all the difference in the world. Parents at St Louise support the school and are proud to do so. The curriculum and grading are not easy but will prepare students for their next step. The faith based learning environment is cornerstone to the schools success. The principal is new this year. She is doctorate educated and responsible for hiring teachers that will make our kids competitive. She is young but committed and bright and navigating a very political environment created by very involved parents. However, I wouldn't have it any other way. My child loves St Louise as well and wouldn't want to transfer any where.

St. Louise School is an excellent school that has recently undergone many positive changes! Several new teachers joined the staff and they are all wonderful! The parent community is amazing and very supportive of the teachers and administration. There is a renewed energy and positive vibe on campus; I am so glad that I can experience it firsthand! It is so sad that people decide to post negative commentary about the school; those people are obviously upset that they left the school and are missing out on all the great things happening at the school. People should come check out the St. Louise difference!!

This school used to be amazing, in particular the grades k-4 and recently 8th grade. However, it's going through a bad transition. The teachers didn't just quit, they were forced out.. Their focus is more technology and less on academics and faith in which case why pay so much money for private school? Principal seems cold and distant. What a sad reality for this once great school.

I'm considering putting my child in this school. Recently found out the principal is new this year and 4 other teachers are leaving. They say "retiring" but four of them at once? Sounds fishy - anyone know what is going on?

The school is very good if you want to feel that your kid is in a safe environment with good values. Unfortunately the education is not that great. The first years are ok all the way up to 4th grade, then goes down and turn into an easy to finish elementary years. The smart kids will do fine but they won't excel. The average kids won't be prepare for high school. You will need to pay a lot for tutoring if you want them to advance.

St. Louise is a small, private school, with a strong family environment. The school is always striving to be academically competitive, while incorporating technology, and offering many extra curricular activities.
