Review Lafayette School

- Reviewed by a Parent/Guardian on September 20, 2008 (Rating: 1 / 5) Report As Inappropriate
- This school is going downhill...and fast. There have been so many changes in just the past year. The administration, the uniforms, it is ridiculous. Three teachers were not given contracts for this year, one of which was a nun who had worked at the school for thirty years without any explanation. The school is supposed to represent Christan values, where are they here?
