Our Mother of Sorrows School

All 4 of my boys attended OMOS (1 attended the Preschool only). We have since left but I have to say Mrs. Feaman and all of the Jr. High teachers were terrific. I also have to say the Ms. Nitka and Ms. Ezzre were also terrific. I do think the curriculum should be revamped from time to time because my younger children were bringing home the same exact work as my older children did in their grade. The art program was wonderful and my boys miss their school. Overall we had a good experience when we were at OMOS.

We came from another state with previous experience in public school, charter school, and home schooling- in an effort to challenge our kids. OMOS has really been a Godsend both in terms of educational standards and quality and responsible, community formation! If you are looking for a new school, this is a great choice!

I have two children who attend OMOS. I took them out of TUSD in 2009 due to all of the issues that the public schools were having. My kids have learned so much, however, it hasn't been a piece of cake. There are commitments that apply to attending this school. I am okay with that. I have really grown in the matter of , "being more aware". I read one of the reviews listed and it stated "you get out what you put in". That hits it right on the head

I could not be more thrilled with the school and community experience here for our family. The principal is educated, intelligent, fair-minded and easy to work with. The faculty are supportive and encouraging to my children, and the staff are very responsive to our needs. Absolutely worth the financial sacrifice to send our children here.

Overall, I am thrilled with the educational experience my two children receive at OMOS. The teachers are willing to talk with the parents and walk through any issues or concerns. The principal is easy to talk to and is results-oriented. We also parish there, and the sense of community is unbelievable if you are involved. What I would like to remind people is that you get out what you put in! OMOS-school and parish-has a wonderful sense of community, really tied into the Catholic Social Teachings. Highly recommend!!!

The only thing worth sending my kid to OMOS for was the art program and the art teacher-my daughter loved every minute of it, learned a lot that will help her in the future, and LOVED Mrs. Baker!!!

This school could not teach either one of my kids to read. They had me sign a form saying that I acknowledge this. When I took them to a different school they are both A+ students and much happier. They both complained that kids were mean there. The accounting is always a mess. They nickel and dime you for everything, and they have usually put another families bills with yours and them refuse to give your child their report card because the parent owes money. Not very Christian if you ask me.

My 2 children went to this school for 2 years and it was nothing but nightmarish for me! My son being ADHD struggled and none of the teachers even tried to help. My daughter who is very well behaved, fell short in reading and again received no help. When I told the teacher I was pulling them out of the school and putting them back in public school, the teacher said, "Oh good, now she will get the help she needs!" I was floored! For the money I paid, my daughter should have never fallen through the cracks. On top of that, the principal offered no help and he acted like he could have cared less that I was pulling my children out of the school. I am a proud Catholic who continues to attend church here and my kids now attend church school on Sundays but I would NOT recommend this school to anyone who is considering!

We have two daughters in attendance here and have had nothing but good experiences. The principal has really updated the school with technology in the last few years. It would be nice to have A/C though, but that still doesn't detour us from sending the girls to this wonderful school where the Holy Spirit is very present.

My son has been going here for 5 years and we have only had one teacher that he has actually liked. The communication between teacher and parent is lacking, as well as the communication between teacher and student. This is the first year my son has ever gotten a D and when I went to the teachers to find a solution, they couldn't come up with one. They just said it was common for his age. Seems to me that the teachers are stuck in one way of teaching and have a difficult time of thinking outside of the box. Every child learns differently and it is their job to find out how that is and adapt their teaching to the children. The class sizes are too big and the sports program leaves something to be desired. The coach tries but has no support from the school.
