Our Lady of Loretto Elementary School

This school needs a lot of help. Everything is unsatisfactory. You would want to send your child where the focus is improving student learning!

What has happened to the standards of this school? It has gone down. Quality has gone low and families are leaving. School is under enrolled. Uniform policy, academic & programs got worse. Lost the traditional way of motivating students by means of medals, trophies and awards. A lot of backstabbing & cussing among staff??? A change of leadership should be addressed ASAP. I hate to see my former school go down the drain. WHAT HAPPENED?

No awards (Academic Excellence, Honor Rolls etc.) for students who excel in their class at Our Lady of Loretto Elementary School. I guess hard-working students don't deserved any recognition at all for the new principal at this school.

The Principal, Miss Suelto, has made a great impact in this school. She has raised the standards of the school by increasing scores for student achievement, creating a website, creating a Development Board, making structural renovations, encouraging her teachers to get credentialled and awarding students for their great work in different subjects. My two children are so happy all the time coming home with certificates, medals and trophies. Although the school doesn't have a gym or a pool, my daughter has received medals in swimming and art competitions. Parents should always be with their children as Miss Suelto says, to develop their potentials to the fullest. Thanks and congratulations for a job well done at Loretto, Miss Suelto!!!

The teachers are great at the school. My daughter attended 6th grade and she has done remarkably well. The teacher really cares about the students. Writing and reading was a target, everyday she came and talked about many things she learned. Loretto Elementary is a great school, i feel safe taking my daughter there. It's convenient for me and my family.

I can only commend the Principal and her teachers. The school tuition fees and their fundraisers are just fine. You want the best, Loretto is where you should enroll your child. I feel that my child is always safe, excelling and always disciplined. I feel great to be part of this school. I highly recommend it.

My son has been a student at Loretto for 5 years. It may not be aperfect school but my son has enjoyed his stay here. Most of the teachers are great, helping the students develop their potential. Last year, my son represented his school at the Screen Actors Guild writing contest and won 4th place in his age group. The school and teachers have inculcated in my son a love for reading and writing. Every week, they are required to write a book report.The school has also given them a sense of history. A few weeks ago, their 4th garde class went on a field trip to Mission san Juan capistrano.

I am a proud parent of Loretto. This private school is up to date. The school uses GRADELINK and I am able to view my daughter's grades anytime and anywhere I am. The teachers at Loretto are great, professional, and respectful. They follow the curriculum standards based from task descriptions and grades viewed in Gradelink. I admire the leadership of this school. I want my daughter to graduate at Loretto, the best catholic school!

As a school leader, I am so pleased and I feel the need to give more to our students. I am proud of this year's line-up of faculty and staff, for without them, the spirit of the team, will not be complete. This school year, our enrollment has gone up to 215, despite some external factors causing barriers, our number continues to rise and this is an indicator of the school's strength.

The school maintains its quality education by the constant supervision and governance of its principal, Miss Fidela Suelto. The teachers like Ms. Isabel Igoa Kuhn, Mr. Michael Solis, mr. Loaiza and Ms. Martinez are so committed in their delivering of standards, use of learning approaches for individual student needs and a regular evaluation of their assessment scores. They do have a teacher whose ability to handle the Loretto Children's Choir is superb. They have won the BRAVO Great Arts Program Award, an award given by the Music Center Group in downtown Los Angeles area. The school provides Piano, Voice, Guitar and Choir lessons. Sports, Karate, Latin Dance, Altar- Servers' Society, Tutoring Program, Safety Patrols' Program, Student Council, Academic Decathlon are some of their best extra-curricular activities. the level of parent involvement is high. Loretto parents support the goals of the principal. Their efforts contribute highly to various fundraisers for special educational purposes.

Our Lady of Loretto is an amazing school. The area is great, the teachers are so nice and the students are very polite. They have great activities for the student body, such as dances, spirit week, and alumni reunions. But, OLL also teaches the importance of religious belief. Being a Catholic school, going to Mass for major religious holidays is anything but new. The after school programs for the children are excellent. The activities are martial arts, choir, sports, dance, instrument lessons, and student council. Surely, the students enjoy the curriculum. Our Lady of Loretto is the perfect choice to start anyone's bright future!
