Our experience while at first started out well, did not end up so. We spent many years at MHOC and became disillusioned. They need to get their fund-raising under control, middle school is chaotic, and they have a huge bullying problem that they don't know how to handle. There is no further information on the new building so there is no cafeteria (the children eat in their classrooms), the media center shares space with the computor room. We had such expectations that unfortunately did not come to fruition.
My kids (kindergarten/3rd Grade) just started at Mary Help 2 weeks ago and they absolutely love it! We moved from Hilton Head, SC and they were in a wonderful private school up there-I was so nervous to move them mid-year. It turned out great. I love the school, teachers, and front office. They have been so warm and have bent over backwards to make sure my kids had no problem fitting in as they started mid-year. The academics are amazing--so far ahead of where they were previously attending. I am so glad I chose Mary Help (had researched quite a few other private schools).
Wow! That person must have had a very bad experience. Our experience was quite the opposite. Very loving, and yes firm but loving, teachers and administrators. They now offer advanced as well as regular classes in middle school, lots of extra curricular activities, high standards in learning ad safety... well, i can't tell you enough. if interested, check it out for yourself. It is not true that people are leaving in droves. The school is almost full to capacity. The economy did cause some people to leave, unfortunately. Tuition has gone up and yet most people remain. My kids have been extremely happy there.
Don't think just because it's private you get an outstanding education here! Principal is ineffective at best, Vice Principal is harsh, neither are very kid friendly. Middle school is a disaster, block schedule, no continuity, poor leadership and mostly sub par teachers with attitude. Principal has managed to pit the teachers against the parents, so no request is ever granted, regardless how significant or insignificant. Only high point has been wonderful parents and kids, who are all leaving this once promising school in droves. Get rid of the principal and vice principal, or lose your families!
