Our Lady Of Lourdes School

Posted: January 17, 2021

OLOL school has been a blessing to our family over the past 9 years. Our children have been taught to be good stewards of their communities, to love and respect others, and always believe in their own value. There are so many ways for students and families to participate and be involved. The teachers and school staff care deeply about the kids. They have worked with us to address the learning differences of our daughter. Both of our children are excelling in their studies. OLOL continues to meet National Blue Ribbon standards, and just received formal recognition for a second time just a few years ago. We love Lourdes, and are proud to be Bearcats!

Our daughters love OLOL and are thriving academically and socially. We love the tight community that OLOL has and that is not judging. Our family is thankful for the many extracurricular activities the school offers as it gives families a chance to bond, and students the opportunity to develop character and skills beyond the classroom. We could not be happier with their teachers and the principle. Mr. Bevin is adding new activities to the school and new curriculum to better our children's education. Any one that moves to St. Matthews area should strongly consider this school if you want your kids to have a great education and a strong sense of religious community.

We are in our 2nd year at OLOL and we could not be more pleased with the school! Our daughter has been recognized as being advanced since day one and OLOL has accommodated her, especially in her reading, by putting her in a special reading group to focus on her strong suits.
I cannot comment on bullying, as our daughter, being in 1st grade, has not experienced this. However, I can state that OLOL has a compassion-based approach to teaching children values at an early age to help prevent such behavior. If you are looking for a great school, and a great community, I would highly recommend OLOL!

School work is age appropriate and challenging

The teachers are nurturing and involved in each student's well-being.

The new principal is a great communicator.

We could not be more pleased with the instructors and leadership at this school. Our son loves it and is thriving academically and socially. Our family is thankful for the many extracurricular activities the school offers as it gives families a chance to bond, and students the opportunity to develop character and skills beyond the classroom. My son especially loves the "school family" concept where older children and younger children are paired to work on projects as a unit throughout the year. This school is special!

Sadly, this school has a high tolerance for bullying and is run more like a sorority or fraternity by its new principal than a safe, nurturing environment for children. Yes, there are some wonderful, faith-filled families who attend this school, but sports is the almighty King here!

Additionally, there is scant cultural diversity in the school and, at times, questionable material has been presented to young children that is not age-appropriate while the parent will have little or no influence over that material. I am also aware of the fact that several very active parish school families have recently departed from this school citing similar reasons.

My best advice to any parent wanting to raise their child in a loving environment would be to steer clear of this school at all costs unless significant teaching and high level school and parish staff members are replaced.

From the past reviewer I've noticed that they do not know how to spell very accurately and that I think that needs to be addressed very quickly. My kids go their and we plan to leave soon because the principle is very poor on handling bullying situations. My husband and I are taking our kids to St. Francis of Assisi because we've heard that bullying is not a problem at St. Francis of Assisi. I've also heard that SFA has a great science, spanish, and math curriculum. If your a parent and is looking at going to Our Lady of Lourdes I would not suggest to enroll.

I went to Lourdes K-8 and I hated it. Everything was fine until Jr. High. If you are advanced they will to nothing about it. If there is an issue the principal and teachers will sweep it under the rug. No matter what the principal will always side with the teacher. We are treated in a way where we should be seen not heard.
