Sacred Heart School

Be cautious enrolling your child at this school. Our experience has not been great. My childs teacher is not responsive to the children or parents. The children can raise thier had and she will just ignor them. The children get a daily behavior report and all of the children in the class constantly get talking in class. She set up a confernace with us on two occassions and she failed toa ttend either one. The first one she said she had to reschuedle and when we arrived the second time she had called in sick. She didn't even have the courtesy of letting us know so we didn't miss work time. The priciple is also unresponsive. We have called and e-mailed but she only responded to one e-mail but then never followed through in talking to our son about other boys pushing him in the hall. I would excersie extrem caution if you are planning to enroll. Our son was extremly loved at his previous school and every since we moved him here its complaint after complaint and he is learning the same thing he learned the previous year.

I love my school. But still the education is low but better than desoto central. Tennesee has much better schools. Still ther is not much bullying.

such a blessing...especially after being at OTHER private schools in the area. The key to success at ANY school, private or public, is being INVOLVED. It's so easy for parents to complain, yet they dont volunteer or participate in school activities. I love ALL the things this school does for my child and I am glad to be a part of it!

Our son started at Sacred Heart at the age of four in the pre-k program and graduated at the end of his eighth grade. He continued his education at CBHS in Memphis and was prepared for the challenge thanks to Sacred Heart. It is a wonderful school with a good community. The Christian based learning is fundamental. The teachers, staff and parents are great. We are forever grateful for this school. We are blessed to have this school in Southaven.

I have 2 kids at this school and I am very disappointed in how bullying is being handled. The principal for whatever reason does nothing to a bully and nothing for the child being bullied. I have went to her for help over 10 times and she can't handle it.

My daughter is a current student at Sacred Heart, for this to be a private school; I am not happy.. My daughter is in a class with only one teacher and 21 kids with NO ASSISTANT.. I enroll my child into this school to ensure she would have the opportunity for more one on one time with the teacher, because my child can be hyper. I am not please with the communication. I feel like I have wasted my money and wish I could have a refund. I strongly suggest to parents who are considering this school, he or she should just send your child to a public school.

We are enjoying the teachers and programs that SHS has to offer.

great school! love the smaller school environment, everyone gets to know each other well, becoming an extended family. We have one child there now, my youngest one is very eager to start, we can't wait until she can join in on all the great stuff this school has to offer. Lots of parental involvement!

The administration lacks the knowledge and experience to be effective. The current administrator has demonstrated this lack of knowledge and accountability time and time again. Unfit leadership currently in charge.

My children went to this school for many years. The administration is lacking. The discipline is a joke. The new principal was supposed to help out the situation but she did not. I withdrew my children two years ago and they are doing very well in public schools. I could not recommend this school at all.
