St. Andrew Academy

Posted: February 27, 2024

I'm a parent of a current kindergarten student, and I love St Andrew. This was our first year and the open communication between my daughter's teachers and myself is top tier. We use communication folders, emails, and class dojo to exchange information on the go, and her teacher is available for calls if needed. I wasn't here for the old regime, but the new principal Mrs. Cortez is definitely trying to make changes in a good way. She's revamped the pick up schedule to be sure that kids aren't running through the cars avoiding safety issues. She's implementing Coffee with Cortez 1-2 times a month so that parents/guardians can come in and sit with her and let her know what's going on that she may not be aware of. My student doesn't need special education accommodations so I couldn't answer that question.

All 3 of my children went through St. Clement and St. Andrew. They received an excellent education. St. Andrew provided an outstanding foundation for all my children. They moved into a Catholic high school (in advanced classes) with no academic or social problems. I would highly recommend this school to families who are looking for a small diverse school.

I think this school is unimpressive. Perhaps there is a family feel to the place but it isn't a family with high expectations. They make less progress in the early grades and therefore are behind if they ever choose to attend a higher performing school. This is not a case of doing the children favors but more likely trying to make the parents feel good about their child's progress.

We sent 3 children through St. Polycarp and then St. Andrew. They received a great education with teachers who really did have their best interest at heart. I highly recommend it. There is always something you won't like anywhere you go but they try hard to work with you and your children.

I first want to stress the family feel. They would receive a B for this. There is no way you get this in a public school. My small complaint is the way the behavior issues are dealt with. In school detention for in school behavior should be setup. Instead they have to write their name in a binder, then communication notes. I support the teachers and if a child is distracting the class they need in-school detention. The real issue is for the gifted children. There is not one catholic school in the southwest part of the county that has anything for gifted children. There are programs that exist, Saints Stephen Martyr school states it pools resources in 'REGION 5' for these children. They attend special classes. Because of this my child and others in the class are looking at other schools and public schools. We can blame the Louisville Archodiocese for this
