St. Lucy's School is a good Catholic School. All staffs are very accommodating. They cooperate according to your child's needs. Very helpful also. If you have children that you want to learn ways of the Catholic life, this school will be a great way to start. Location is convenient also for Long Beach, Carson, Wilmington and other nearby Cities.

My child is new student in this school. She likes her new small school, small group of students per class where the student will get a chance to know each other and teacher is focused on teaching students. I enrolled my child here for faith formation and enjoy her childhood- build friendship with same values and faith aside and high standards in academics.
