I can safely say that Our Lady Our Providence is a great school. This is a small school but here size dose not matter. When you walk threw the doors of Olop there is so much love. All of the teachers are extremely nice. When you come to Olop consider your self apart of the family. Take it from a 8th grader, this school is great.

the teachers are mean . The gym is small sometimes there is not enough lunch to feed the children and sometimes they re-use the same food

I think the school is a safe, nurturing, family oriented environment, where everyone knows and lools after your child. If there is a problem you can talk directly with the principal without any middlemen such as in the public schools. It is a great learning environment although I am disappointed about the lack of a proper gym, and lack of extracurricular activities and sports programs. The cafeteria needs a renovation and the lunch menu needs more variation. Overall it is a better alternative to the C.I. or Brentwood public schools, and I would not turn back and put my kids in Brentwood schools. All in all I love the school-GREAT SCHOOL-NO REGRETS!

I think the school is good but the lunch room food costs alot of money. The gym room is too small. They should find the money to expand the gym or build a whole new one.

My daughter is a student of the school. The teachers and staff are all very close with the students and parents and it is a very loving and nurturing environment. The principal knows every student by name and greets them at the door each morning. They are very accommodating with parents scheduled and provide before and after school programs on a daily or monthly basis. My daughter loves attending this school. However there is no extracurricular aspect to the school. Not even a CYO program.

Very small and childish. Food is great bu expensive. No sports, clubs or extracurricular activities. The gyms is small and in in a mobile trailer. Everyone is so close so nobody ever gets punished. Suspensions are rare. NO such thing as detention. Lockers are only allowed in 6,7, and 8 and are very small.

Iam a graduate of this school(class of 2003)and my little sister currently attends. All my friends agree that during the school year(s) it seems to pass slow but then when you look back at it you realize how much fun we really had. Four of my friends and I would help out the kindergarden teacher during our lunch period and had a really good time. All the people were really friendly and year after year we went to school with the same people so everyone got alone with each other. You don't realize how fast the 8th grade will come and when it does you realize that everyone will be attending a different high school wheather it be a public school or another catholic school. You'll always be able to look back at those years and realize that they were some of the best years of you life. -Pascale & Samantha <3

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.
