Our Lady of Lourdes School

Great School! My kids love OLL. They know the teachers really care for them and they are getting a great education. Academics are really stressed. There is a true sense of community and a family feel. If you want to be involved there are many opportunities. The principal and staff have the school going to great heights.

Get serious people this location doesn't have many other choices. OLL has improved significantly but there still are some concerns. OLL traditionally feels more like a club than a community. Leadership caters to a handful of parents who think they and their kids are better than everyone else. If you re not in this self-centered clan, your kids will never get the lead role in the school play, never get their photo in the local newsletter, and never be selected for subjective awards and scholarships at graduation. The school doesn t believe in spreading it around. Not to worry the ignored kids use this as motivation and outperform the pretenders when college scholarships are awarded. Support the teachers stay involved and laugh at the parents who act like they own the joint. Now the really good news. The school always turns out some high performers and the school become outstanding because the kids of some of the meddling parents are gone & they finally hired a great principal.Get past the politics and OLL offers a very good learning experience for you and your child!!

A great new principal has made a real difference in the last two years. Declining enrollments mean small class sizes that benefit your children. My kids enjoy the structure and discipline of a Catholic school. It's a shame more parents aren't involved though. Too many parents (even at a parochial school) think that they send their children off to get educated and don't need to be involved. OLL offers a great sense of community and a solid Catholic education.

OLL is a great school to send your child to. We have small classes, great teachers, high expectations, religious teaching, extra clubs, and lots of chances for parents to be involved. There is a feeling of community. My child's test scores are great, thanks to OLL.

Our Lady of Lourdes is a great school to send your child. Academics are above par and the atomosphere is very family oriented. A++

I have been part of OLL for a few years and this school is great, and has gotten even better recently. There are so many clubs and groups that have been started, there is a theme that talks about kindness, and the level of expectations for behavior and academics have increased too. Any not- positive comment is probably written by a student or parent that is not used to these high expectations. You can get a great education at OLL, but you're expected to work and behave. Anyone that wrote something negative probably doesn't want to work or behave. But this school is top notch, full of good kids and fine staff. There really is a welcoming feel at OLL now.

Great school. I graduated recently and found myself to be very well prepared for high school. The staff care about you and challenge you to do well. I was involved and learned so much. Simply a fine school.

lourdes is a great school if you want your child to fail in life. its academics are at a low standard and most kids need extra help in high school that graduate from lourdes. there is a lack of teacher involvement. lourdes is a good school(:

Lourdes is a very fine school. There is a sense of community that is present; everyone seems to be dedicated to the school. I have been impressed with the prinicpal and staff and their decisions. The rules and expectations have gotten higher over the past 2 years which I was excited to see. Kindness and academics are stressed. My child is getting a great education with small class sizes in caring environment.
