Our Lady of Mount Carmel

My daughter just finished her first year in the middle school. I am very happy with the school. If you are looking for a balanced education this is the school for you. The teachers are very helpful and the children are very well behaved and polite. The writing program is exceptional. The math is also challenging. If you are looking for a private school to attend this school is top notch.

My children have attended this school for six years, and this year, I am happier than ever before. The '10-'11 school year saw many changes for the positive, an addition of an assistant to the principal and greater striving in the school for continued academic and sports excellence. Enrollment is up and the school has been invited to apply for Blue Ribbon status. No school is perfect, but when my family considers the academics, the community outreach, the strong Christian standards and the sense of purpose that OLMC offers the children, we feel it is the perfect school for us.

My 3 granddaughters attend this school and I'm very pleased with the Christian values and teaching they are receiving.

1 year down and going to give it another shot at OLMC. We are impressed with academics so far but, unfortunately the teacher last year did not live up to a part of mission statement stating they will adapt to each child's individual learning style. Also, I received the cold shoulder from the teacher a lot. My child was criticized all the time by the teacher however, received praise from every one else. I'm hoping this year will feel a little warmer. If not, we're moving on.

This school is creating grand LEADERS!!!

I love my school. Middle School has really improved over the years, and even though I'm almost leaving, I'm still going to really miss the school. It's been my family for over 8 years, and the atmosphere is really comforting.

We too looked long and hard to search for a school community that would provide our child with a well rounded education. Unfortunately olmc is lacking in various subject matter. The math curriculum is certainly behind other area catholic schools not to mention the public sector. Homework is rarely if ever checked in certain classrooms. A new principal may have offered hope for the future, however it is the opinion of this author that she does not have a handle on the classroom enviornment. She reportedly implemented something called 'shine', to address discipline issues throughout the school. However there are still issues.

I looked long and hard before selecting OLMC and have been very satisfied. No place is perfect, but we chose OLMC because of the school's vision in educating the mind, heart and spirit of the child. The teachers are dedicated and look at their job as a ministry as well -- the environment of a Catholic Christian community that is inclusive of other faiths is important. As well, we are glad that there is a so much ethnic diversity in the school. The new principal, while different from Ms. O., carries on in the tradition of strict but loving leadership.

I think that many kids would be lucky to go this school especially middle school. The teachers make even the toughest things simple to understand. They really care for you.
