My wife and I have been very satisfied with the overall quality of the teachers' academic abilities, but we are more impressed with the core Christian values which they instill in our 3 children - which complements what we teach at home. Parent involvement is high and opportunities to serve abound which results in a very warm, rich, and stimulating invironment, where the education provided is a 50/50 teacher/parent collaboration. There are areas that need improvement such as the IT infrastructure, but the administration is responsive to parent concerns, and progress is continually in motion. You will not find bullies or any unsafe/illicit elements on this campus as they are simply not tolerated. You will not find a Principal with more compassion, integrity, and intellectual drive than Jackie Palermo. Your child will be in a Christ centered educational milieu from the beginning to the end of their time at OLPH.
The is an outstanding school with a principal that does not let things slide. The previous reviewer should have brought the concerns to the principal. Any concerns or questions I have had have been addressed quite swiftly and always in a christian manner. Their priority is strong catholic, moral, and academic education. Great school!
While this school has strong morals, it lacks in ways. My child, who was a new student was not informed on many of the school assignments or customs, leading her to get in trouble and get bad grades. Also, I have found the older students and teachers to be very prejudice against people with mental disabilities, such as, teachers letting the students say 'retarded' and make fun of them in class.
We are very happy with the progress that our child is making at OLPH. It is a family oriented, academically challenging and supportive school. We love it!
This Blue Ribbon accredited school is an outstanding choice for parents looking for an opportunity to place their children in a challenging academic environment enriched by the values and teachings of a strong faith based community. Parents play an active role in daily activities which enhances the learning experience for the entire family. Excellent faculty is there because they are dedicated to the children and their lessons. I am a parent with three children presently attend the school.
A great family environment where academic excellence meets strong religious and moral values. We have two students at the school and are so pleased with every aspect of the school!
