I looked long and hard before selecting OLMC and have been very satisfied. No place is perfect, but we chose OLMC because of the school's vision in educating the mind, heart and spirit of the child. The teachers are dedicated and look at their job as a ministry as well -- the environment of a Catholic

I was very dissapointed to read what the 'president of the student council' has to say. In fairness to the new principal, she is there a very short time. She is working hard to communicate with the parents, students, teachers and staff and,in my estimation is doing a fine job. When children misbehave

The teachers are attempting to set goals for the students to achieve and to become the best that each individual can be. Is this unfair or unreasonable? I don't think so, it may not be what the students want to hear but unfair, unreasonable? No. Read less

I also transferred my child out of OLMC after only one year. With the amount of money it costs annually to attend that school, I was extremely, extremely disappointed! A friend had recommended the school and unfortunately, I listened. Although the extracurricular activities were above average, the

In addition, Ms. Orifice displayed a complete lack of managerial and/or leadership ability, both of which manifested themselves quite obviously in her staff. Her complete lack of control and discipline created a chaotic environment where learning was difficult at best. She seemed almost intimidated when dealing with specific parents. The school truly needs an experienced administrator who can institute a controlled learning environment. Read less

We weren't there even half a year before leaving. The classrooms are out of control and the only method of control they know is yelling. They have very little skill in dealing with children.

I must disagree with the previous review. Although I am recently new to the school I have heard over the years only positive things about OLMC and this is why I put my kids in the school. There will always be some level of children who act out and it may appear that there is no control however an overall

Sometimes the child causing the the problem is the chld of a parent who is unaware. Ms. O has offered a well rounded curriculm to include academics, afterschool activities, parent involvemnt and inrichment programs. There is no school who does not have a dsicpline problem. I feel confortable in saying this because I have worked with children, with schools and towns to alleviate this such problem. Thank you. Read less

The lack of discipline is what caused us to leave the school. The children, from a very early age, are allowed to act out and disrupt classes without the fear of any repurcussions. I feel the principal, Ms. Orifice, has absolutely no control over the children. This lack of control 'trickles' down
