Top Rated 15 Schools in Monroe, LA - A Guide for Parents and Students

Brad Allen ULM is a Joke. More like the biggest mistake I ever made. The staff and professors put more effort into being difficult, rude, and disrespectful, not to mention unprofessional than they do their actual jobs. I should not have had to tell my professor of one of my undergraduate Psychology classes three times that the reason that I was late with a paper was because I was out of town because my dad was having a very important surgrey. There is usually a lot of drama going on in the psychology department and not enough focus on what needs to be focused on. Your told to keep up with the readings in the text book but the stuff the professors are usually talking about have absolutely nothing to do with what is in the textbook.Their basically up there just rambling about stuff and it really doesnt sound like they know what they are talking about. The professors are really creepy and they stalk their students. ULM and some of the people I met when I was there is the reason I don’t put up with nonsense anymore.

Andrew Nolan Great college that isnt too big or small! Friendly atmosphere with great workers/employees/faculty.

Samarra Esteve I applied to ULMs Ed.D. program for Spring 2025 and met all deadlines, submitting my materials on December 16th for the December 20th deadline. Despite multiple calls where I was assured my application was decision-ready for Term 1, I was later told my application wasn’t reviewed until January 8th—after Term 1 closed—and was now being considered for Term 2. Prior to applying, I had read numerous 1-star reviews about how disorganized and incompetent the admissions office is, and unfortunately, my experience confirmed this. Graduate applicants deserve transparency, timely decisions, and professionalism to prepare for their studies—not delays and mismanagement. Very disappointing experience.

Mary Rachal All 3 of my children have attended the Montessori School of West Monroe. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time at this wonderful school. The staff is amazing and provides a loving and caring environment where the children can do their work, learn, and play. My 2 children who have completed the program are both strong academic students and have a love for reading that credit the Montessori school for instilling in them. It will be sad day when my last child completes the program. I cannot recommend this school enough!

Aristoteles Pena I had the pleasure of visiting and observing the Montessori school, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with their program. The structured approach to learning is truly excellent, providing children with a stimulating environment that fosters the development of essential skills for their academic journey ahead. One of the standout aspects of this Montessori school is the quality of its teachers. They are not only well-trained but also display remarkable patience and understanding when working with young children. It was heartening to see how they engaged with each child, tailoring their approach to suit individual needs and learning styles. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend this Montessori school and program to any parent seeking a nurturing and educational environment for their child. It is clear that the school values each childs unique abilities and paves the way for a solid foundation in learning. A truly great place for young minds to flourish!

Laura Blackwell The Montessori School of West Monroe is second to none and such a gem in our community. Cindy Vance and her staff are amazing and make each child feel seen, loved and valued. They have such a well thought out and prepared environment for child led learning that lets each child thrive. We could not be happier with the hands on learning and real life development that Montessori school of west Monroe has given our children.

Dayna Ryan Great school, great staff and wonderful teachers. The curriculum is tough and they are strict, but my kids have learned so much in just a couple of months! The rising runners program on Tuesday and Thursday makes my kids jump out of bed and get ready as quickly as they can so they are not late for running. I am so glad we chose this school.

Amy Price Love this school and how much they love our kids.

John Denmon I own several properties all which have needed a lot of work since hurricane hit. TJ stepped up handling all clean up from storm. I was impressed so I let him keep up the properties. I’ve been very pleased with TJ and his crew. They are honest people, that tackle what is needed at each of my properties. Good price and very professional. I highly recommend there services.

Mary Beilman, DDS Amazing my grandson goes here He loves it He cries when he can’t go to school!

Dragon King 01 The school is not really that terrible but the guidance counselor does not make you feel like you can talk to her about your problems an the school. Then she takes shots at the kids like she is on their LEVELl!!!!

P D We went to the football game Tuesday, La Grange vs Sealy. We were so disappointed. First the 8th graders were in the stands yelling, cursing and running around during the National Anthem, unexceptable. Coaches didn’t do a thing about it. Second, The 7th grade team was so lost out on the field, we are wondering what the coaches are doing or not doing. It’s the boys first year playing, why are these coaches not working with these boys and helping them understand the game, their positions and what to do out on the field. The coaches were walking around like they were lost. It was embarrassing for our boys. 35 to 0! Sounds to me that the coaches should be fired if they can’t do their job. Third the other team coaches and players said a prayer before the game, not our boys. WTH!
