“My niece and my son both went to st. Bernadette. Both got in to excellent high schools. My son got in to Loyola High School based on academics alone. This was due to St. Bernadette's strong academic foundation. I highly recommend St. Bernadtte to any parent searching for a quality education for their children. St. Bernadette also has a great faculty line-up who really care for tue students' well-being and success. My son still goes down there all the time to visit his old teachers and coach. Once again, I highly recommend St. Bernadette to any parent searching for a good academic foundation and catholic foundation.”

“Well overall, I think this is a good school. They really have a solid learning foundation for the kids. If you are looking for a school that will just cover the book or lesson plan briefly and you are satisfied with this type of teaching, then this is not the school for your child. However, if you want hands on learning and lesson plans that are repeated until the child understands and is ready to move on to the next level, then this is the school for your child. My child has been on the honor roll since starting here and has learned a great deal about working independently and understanding all subjects pretty well. It is up to the parent to get involved in their child's learning. In terms of the school being a little dirty, maybe some parents can volunteer their time and make it prettier..........”

“(Part 3 of 3) So what does that tell you? They just want to complain. No, school is prefect. I feel Mrs. Davis is a very professional principal who takes care of business. She has made numerous improvements to the school. Keep up the good job Mrs. Davis!”

“I am just going to make it brief; the school principle is not a professinal at all. She does not act or speak like one. She does not even dress or act like a Catholic school principle. I do not recommend this school at all. By the way, the school is really dirty and unkept.”

“I find St. Bernadette Catholic school to be one of the best in the Crenshaw district and beyond. Most if not all of the students move on to excellent high school of thier choosing. many go into high school with honors. What I do feel is lack is when parents do not assit in thier childrens education and expect miracles. Parent's make comments about the money, don't they get paid on their jobs. It is a parents responsibility to pay the tuition and complete service hours. Those are minimum requirements. I love the education my children are receiving.”

“This school is trying. They still have a long way to go. They have a good principal but they need more money to up date the school. Students need to be pushed harder and parents to participate more. I always see the same parents at all of the activities. But they are trying”

“I am happy with the quality of education provided here at St. Bernadette Scool. Having attened the school myself, I feel that the quality of the school has not changed much in over 20 years. They care about the children, not the money. That's very important these days when raising children in South Los Angeles. Teaching responsibility and holding children accountable for their actions. Overall preparing them for the world. Ms. Davis is a blessing to this school and I am glad having met her. A few years ago before she came I probably would not feel this way about this school. She has made a huge improvement to the school.”

“I think this is a good school. I like that the school emphasizes to the students to read and practice math during the summer. Another key factor is that the Principal is hands on with the parents and not in the background like so many other schools. This is really the first time that my child is excited about returning to school. Also the school does not nickel and dime you at registration time like so many other private schools. Parents are expected to volunteer and participate in the school fundraiser. This is only fair to help keep the school going during the school year.”

“My son has attended St. Bernadette's for two years and has been lucky to have had 2 caring dedicated teachers, Mrs. Scott and Mr. Grogan. The academic program is not very rigorous in comparison to public school offerings. It does seem that they care most about the money as there are many discipline problems and the students are not asked to leave as most private schools would do. They are often sending home warning notices about parents behind on tuition payments. I do not understand why this is tolerated. My child is happy and has made many friends and is making all A's, so I am basically satisfied. Unfortunately, every school has something wrong, parents have to get involved. The parent involvement here is very high as there is a requirement for volunteering.”

“I do not know about the teachers and the staff as yet. However the overall process in taking the placement test to enter the school was a little chaotic. It did not run very smoothly as it could have. This policy needs to be reviewed. However the staff and teachers were friendly and the children seem to be very happy which is a good sign. Unfortunately, schools are not going to be perfect but parents have to start holding the administration accountable when the school is not at the level it should be. I hope a few negatives start to turn into a positive from parents who have children at this school and respond accordingly.”

“Or son in enrolled at this school. My husband and I are not happy at all with the level of education that he has received. As one parent put it, its all about money. They don't seem to care about the children's education, if there is a problem, it is swept under the rug. No professionalism at all on their part.”

“The quality of academics is a joke, this school is all about money. They do not challenge kids to there full potiental and your child will regres if you keep your child here. This school has no music, art,for the kids they have sports. If their is a problem it will get over looked. The down fall is that they take in any and every child and these kids come from bad/good neighborhoods and get away with anything.”

“I found this school to be lacking in qualified teachers, discipling of the children and keeping up the pace with most public schools.”
