OLHC is very family oriented. Their is a sense of love, care, and understanding to each student and parents need. Whether it be academic, material, financial, or emotional supports, the principal and staff are always prepared to address and meet either.

Presently my daughter attends Our Lady and I am very unhappy. My daughter is in second grade and her class size started at 36 it was later split but not due to the number of students only due to the level that the childern were learning on. My daughter left a private school to attend this school and I feel awful that her old school shut down because Our Lady does not compare at all. If I didn't tutor my daughter at home lord only knows how much she would miss out on. And if anyone would like to contact me feel free I have every test paper as well as class assignment and it does not show second grade. A very unhappy parent..

This school is overcrowded and lacks qualified teachers and admistration staff. My overall experience has been one disappointment after another. I am sorry to say there is not one good thing I can say about this school.

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
