This has been the best move for my kids. The teachers care about the students and go above and beyond for them. My only issue with the school has been some and only some of the administration. I believe there is a lack of authority when needed sometimes. I seems as though if it is a student with parents who are donators or of some importance those kids are not disciplined in the same way as others. I have seen some kids get expelled or suspended and others just get a slap on the wrist for the same or even worse discrepancies. With an administration change this school could be amazing!

I have been nothing but impressed at the terrific growth I've witnessed firsthand in my girl. The confidence building and leadership skills she has gained as well as the camaraderie among classmates is inspirational. I have watched the Honor Code and student government in play and am witnessing this become part of my daughter's moral compass. McGehee is so much more than a place to get an education. It's an experience and it's been great to watch my daughter grow into a confident, intelligent young woman. McGehee is as good as it gets!

It's extremely disappointing to see how situations involving racism are being handled at this…read moreschool. When members of the community call the administration to address serious concerns about the behavior of some students, it feels like our voices are being ignored. Issues like this should never be brushed aside or dismissed. Schools are supposed to be places where respect, accountability, and leadership are taught. The administration needs to do better by listening to the community, addressing these problems directly, and making it clear that racist behavior will not be tolerated. Silence or inaction only damages trust with the community you serve.

My children love to go to school and look forward to all of the activities, project and the supportive learning environment the school provides for the children. The teachers are engaging, caring and create a warm environment for the children to thrive and grow. The school, and its staff has been very accommodating and loving to the children at school and to myself as a parent. The teachers keep me informed, are very willing to assist the child if there are any exceptionalities that require a calm, patient space to develop and nurture their social and emotional skills. The staff has spent time with me and offered me guidance and their expertise in our families journey through pre-school and entering our next adventure of upcoming kindergarten. I have to reference the biting incident review as it would be an injustice to the school not to do so as they likely can't comment but I can discuss my experience. As the parent of the child that was bitten and has a permanent scar from how hard and attached the child was to her arm that bit her I have to stand by the school and staff for their actions. The school most definitely acted in the best interest and safety of all of the children in the class, which is what you would want as a parent. My child deserves a safe space which the school recognized and is providing to all of the children. No one child is more important than any other at school. Yes, children bite but we should be aware and informed of the severity of the incidents and harm our child inflicts on other children. The parent is disgruntled at the school and leaving negative reviews rather than accepting the reality of their child's actions and behavior and focusing their effort on getting their child the support needed to correct the behaviors. Some parents are not willing to accept the hard truths about their child and it is only an injustice to their child to not seek them the help they are seeking out for through such actions. I will always support and recommend this sweet little school and all of its community of parents and teachers. The support is there for all children and parents by the director and teachers who make the extra effort to provide a safe and loving environment for the children of St. Augustine. I have nothing but the kindest words to share about my children's experience at St. Augustine.

Do yourself a favor and do not send your child to the worst pre school in Metairie. The teachers are very cold, show no affection to the children. My 2 yr old could sense toxicity there and never wanted to go. He had a couple of biting incidents (which is completely normal for 2 yr olds) and they sent him home for a week and told me I needed to get X-rays of my sons teeth to prove he is teething. I guess this was a CYA for the other parents of the children he bit. His pediatrician told them that he will absolutely not be getting un needed radiation, and that biting for 2 yr olds is normal. They acted like they taught for 30 years, but have never encountered a child that bit. While consulting with the director about steps we could take to get him to stop biting we were told "at some point you just need to be a parent" all while scrolling her Apple Watch. My husband went for a second meeting and had to tell her to stop scrolling her phone while discussing a serious matter. They do not care about your kids, and your kid will sense it and not want to be there.
