O'Hara provides a reasonably good but not stellar education for K-8. Teachers are very accessible to work with parents on specific issues. Too much time spent on activities not related to academic subjects--celebrations, holiday preps, and the like. Weak foreign language teaching (but not unlike public schools). With a stronger commitment to an academic day, homework for K-8 could be all but eliminated.
O Hara is an amazing school! From the first moment I walked in the doors, I had the overwhelming sense of belonging. Everyone from the staff to parents is open and friendly with the same objectives in mind. I have never seen a more dedicated and talented group of educators, staff and administration in any other school. They go out of their way, making sure the best is being done in every situation. The parents here are very involved with their children s education and school, everyone pulls together to get things done. The community involvement is impressive. There is this great focus on the larger community, to get out there and volunteer, setting a standard early in the kid s lives. More important is that my son loves the school! The same values that are being taught at home are mirrored at O Hara. I couldn t ask for any better!
There is something very unique about O'Hara. You feel it as soon as you walk through the front doors. THere is such a strong sense of community. Everyone cares so much - from the kids to the other parents to the teachers to the office staff to the principal who knows everyone by name. The teachers are the best I've ever seen. The academics are top notch across the board. It's the most 'Catholic' school we've ever attended. I can't say enough good things about O'Hara!
We have been apart of the Ohara family for 3 years now. Joining Ohara was the best part of our transition coming from out of state. Not only was the Ohara community welcoming, the students were genuine and caring. There are so many positives about Ohara school. The monthly school masses are amazing as students along with their teachers come together in worship while families are always welcome. Our education experience has be amazing at Ohara. The piano program is a plus as well. You could not ask for a better faculty. Our principal is top notch too. We are very happy at Ohara, our children especially are thankful to be at this school.
