Sacred Heart Model School Reviews

I thought Sacred Heart Model School was fantastic! I had a lot of wonderful teachers and I had some good teachers. Dr. Bowling was and will always be a nice, smart and caring principal.

The Model School had an excellent reputation long before Dr. Wannemuehler arrived. She began to dismantle the rigor, accept students who could not do the work and catered to spoiled parents and kids. My children attended SHMS and received a fantastic education but the decline began with Dr. W. All schools go through difficult periods. SHMS remains a wonderful opportunity with students and graduates who are well-educated. It is a bargain for what you get.

When Dr. Wannemeuler was the principal the school was fantastic, had a very good environment, and every student was properly challenged, but when she left everything went downhill, the teaching staff is not nearly as good as it used to be and tuition is getting more and more expensive next year, many of the rules at the school are now very unreasonable and pointless.

Sacred Heart Model School is the best grade school in Louisville. I have three children of both genders and they receive not only a fantastic education, but you could not have a more nurturing staff. The students truly respect one another. The sports program is wonderful as well! We are SO pleased.

The cost of tuition continues to rise while the quality of education declines. The school would like to blame the economy for the low enrollment. Parents in the community are more than willing to put the money out there for their childrens' education. It is not good educational value at SHMS! Tuition in 2008-2009 school year is 10k. We are definitely looking at other options.

There isn't a school in Louisville where my children could be more challenged, encouraged, nurtured or at home. The drive for excellence is matched only by the daily mission to grow young people of character. Our family could not be happier with the teacher, principals or campus.

Ever since Dr. Wannemuehler left the school, everything has been worse.

This is an outstanding school with a great family environment. Academics are excellent. Sports, music, and art are terrific. This legacy school has educated many generations of young women. Teachers are outstanding and conferences are meaningful and helpful. You will be proud to have your daughter at this outstanding school.

Great school if you're looking for small size and academic rigor.
