Our Lady of Good Counsel School

I have a 1st and third grader, and I can honestly say OLGC is a fabulous school. I find the teachers very caring and there are very consistent boundaries set for the children making a secure environment. My child had a few problems settling in and the problems were address quickly and resolved in a very child focussed manner. I have seen the standard of my childrens work progress well, and there knowledge and interest widen through school work and school projects. The school is on a lovely site with plenty of open space and great facilities for example the gym, art room and library which is really well stocked and regulary updated.

It is wonderful for a child to receive religous education on a daily basis, such as is offered by OLGC. HOWEVER, the overall atmosphere of the school erodes any academic instruction of Christian morals. Multiple teachers have a reputation for class control through yelling and humiliation. Many of the textbooks are outdated compared to other local schools. The bullying at the school is known throughout the community and is the cause for multiple families to have pulled their children over the years. This in spite of their policy on zero tolerance for bullying.

In 2010 I have children in grades 6th, 5th & 2nd. We have been at the school for 7 years and really enjoy it. My children are thriving. The loving, caring environment is wonderful. We feel that it has many of the good attributes that public schools have. A science lab, computer lab, library, beautiful campus, fabulous size gym, after school activities & Spanish. The teachers really want your children to succeed and they try to make that happen. Having religion everyday reinforces our family values when we aren't around.
