I went to this school from 05-09. I was present for the change in the principal. It was a terrible decision and he has ruined Lacordaire Academy. It used to be a safe haven for girls, but soon enough everyone began to dread it. He doesn't know how to react to female problems, or even relate to them. The faculty is horrible and I found myself personally teaching myself subject material.
This shcool was good for my daughter. No public scool would classify her. When we put here in Laco she got the special treatment she needed. Although they are not special ed trained they would do anything to help her succed, like more time on test and not having to do certain work and even a chance to re-d0 work or exams. We are not Catholic and that did not matter because the religion classses are not strict and other things are discussed in class. I can't say enough because my daughter would not have graduated high school if it wer not for Lacordaire.
I have been with the Lacordaire family for plenty of years and this school is fantastic. I cannot stress the appreciation and dedication each facultly and staff member plays at my child's second home. Their ability to take out their own time and help mentor, teach, tutor, coach or advice my daugther throughout the years has made me a life long fan of Lacordaire Academy. She looks forward going to school each day because of the uniqueness she gains each school day. Her perspective in life has developed into a positive, something she cannot have gained at a public school. There are countless of positive interactions I have had with the head of school and the faculty there. Go Lions!!!
Not much improvement since new principal came. He is from a military background and does not seem to understand the needs of an all female environment. Although regular meetings with parents group occur nothing ever really changes. Academics could be more challenging and many free's in schedule. Some do not take gym or health because not enough students to form another class. No transportation for players on teams. Driven by either students or parents. Not many college courses offered nor AP classes. Looked at the Mt St Dominic should have gone there instead since this school does not deliver what it promises.
