My daughter has been going there since pre-k4 and still attends there. I love the school and some of the teachers. I just do not like it that they keep uping the tuition and these days it is getting hard for me to keep her in school financial. Over all she gets a great education and she has learned alot. We have had struggles with some subjects but a teacher that she has had in the pasted and the principle have help us get her back on track. Sometimes i do not agree or understand things but if you go and talk it out with a teacher, Vice Prinicple or Prinicple they will explain it to you.
I LOVE this school! My son has been there for 5 years and have always had positive interactions with all the faculty and staff. I teach in public school and everyday I thank God for the opportunity to be able to send him there!!
Horrible, HORRIBLE SCHOOL! This schools teachers are very rude to the students, and put their self-esteem down. And when a student doesnt do something right, or makes a mistake the teachers have to yell it out to their whole class. This year there is this new thing called H.A.M.M. This is basically a lunch detention. The students, who don t do a homework assignment, have to do it during their lunch period BEFORE they get to eat their lunch, but if they don t get a chance to finish their homework, then they don t get a chance to eat lunch. I think I speak for all parents when saying, that is not right! Say or think whatever you want about my comment, but you dont know what this school is like. honestly think about it...have you spent a day learning and taking disrespect from these teachers, and staff?
i have been reading the reviews and I agree and disagree. The principle is great i know i ever have I problem she is there for me. i do agree security is a bit much but its done with the children safety in mind. Teacher are strict but only when needed to be they are always there and have conference periods set particularly for parents. Parent involvement thy are required to do 10hrs. os service hours. That can be done with donation, yard work, or with help during school events. Really its not that bad and its only done to get et parents more involved with the school. There are fundraisers but not all are mandatory. this is a little insite to what the school is like that some parents seem to exaggerate about the attitudes of the staff. At the school you get what you give some times.
Wow! Nov. was quite the pick me upper month. I agree, some things were harshly said. When observed I did notice some of those 'absurd and negative' comments that were made. Look, this school from what I can see is good on their curriculum but, their attitudes do honestly need an adjustment. I know that sometimes being in an administrative position sometimes have their harsh words, and unhappy people. Make changes within yourselves. Sometimes I think that the administrators seem to forget that they (the parents) need you(the faculty and staff) as much as you need the parents. Because without each other it DOES NOT work. Think about that before saying things to those parents who do have issue with the faculty and staff.
I'm a parent that had a child attend Little Flower School from kinder through the 8th grade. I read all the reviews on this site and agree with most by saying that academics, including instruction on christian morality, is second to none. Informative and dedicated faculty create a fun and supportive learning environment. This is due in large part by a charasmatic principal that, through her leadership, makes the performance of her staff that much better. Security is also a priority at the school. I'm aware of certain rules and procedures that are in place to keep everyone safe. Contrary to some complaints, there is communication between teachers and parents, which is essential to the student's education and well being. The negative and absurd comments made against the principal and staff is simply a reminder that every year a few parents(and teachers) feel they are above the rules.
Let me begin by saying I have nothing but the highest respect and admiration for the Faculty and Staff at LFS. Each and every teacher brings their own flare and excitement to the halls of this wonderful school. And the principle for this school is the most giving, respectful, delightful, understanding, honest & YES, toughest mamma on the block! Some people may find this rude and/or disrespectful however this are qualities I would want to see in a person in charge of my children's safety and education. I must admit, sometimes we as parents can have very different views then those of the faculty and staff of this school. However, WE ALL need to remember, this is their job, their profession & for some, their passion. And I respect and admire that. Instead of voicing our issues anonymously, lets us take this opportunity to work with the great school, not against.
I am a parent of a student at Little Flower School. My child has been a life long student in public school until this year. I transferred her from a top performing public school to LIttle Flower because of the high standards the school sets. The principal and teachers have high expectations of their students and go out of their way to help each child reach their potential. Not just in education but personal growth as well. I saw a change in my child's attitude about life and school almost immediately after putting her in LFS. The presence of God is in that school and more importantly in the lives of those who are there. I just have one question for those who wrote unfavorable comments about the school...who lives in your heart? I highly recommend LFS.
Im a Teacher at LFS and I have been here for many years and have gone through a few Principals. I can honestly say that this Principal at LFS is a type of boss that listens to her staff and faculty. If a problem arises she is there to listen and willing to compromise. Her doors are always open to faculty, students and parents. We are really lucky to have a principal that is willing to hear our opinions and stand behind us on any decsion. I look forward in working with her many years and hoping she will be able to overcome some of the harsh things parents say behind our backs. When it hurts her it hurts all of us. We are one family and united we stand.
Little Flower School is a wonderful atmosphere where children are looked at individually. They are cared for by wonderful certified teachers and support staff. They are recieving the best education a school has to offer. Some concerns and opinions parents or people may have should be voiced in a proper manner. Degrading the school is not a way to do this. There is always someone there for these children and always will be. The principal has done an outstanding job and I have alot of faith in her to run this school as best fit. Keep up the amazing work you are doing LFS.
