Our Lady of Grace is an excellent school. The foundation for your child to have a well rounded education, obtain structure and belief is available and apparent. Not every school can appease to everyone's wants and needs but I give the school thumbs up. The school is always clean, my child comes home
... Read more happy, and the kids are priority. Parents, the school runs on money like any other catholic/private school just make sure to keep all documentation to avoid issues.

I tried to keep my daughet in this school but I realized after 3 years that I waisted too much time. This shool whatsoever does not care about good education. All they care about is money. And you should make sure you keep all your payment receipt s in place because they will come hunting after you.
... Read more And if you cannot prove your payment, they will make you pay again. Everytime, I thought my payement were done , Mr. Malcom will give me a call again looking for more. One thing I really hated about this, the teacher yell too much, everytime I went to the office, I could hear the teacher yelling, or screeming at the students, more than the voice of a correction officer talking to a prisonner. Now, my daughter cannot talk anymore, she just yell for anything. The teacher used to pinch her also. Read less

My child is now eight years old and has been going to our lady of grace since kinderten.To be truthful to you I do not see any improvement I really don't know why I even bother to send him there.

The academic program is outdated to say the least! The office staff is very unpleasant and unfriendly. I removed my child from this school last year to another school in the area and my child is doing much better. This school does not foster good christian values and the students are disrespectful.

The principal Ms. Lewis of Our Lady of Grace School and her administrative staff need a course in communication. They do not know how to communicate with teachers and parents alike in a professional manor. Academically the school is average, but the administrative staff nasty attitude has taken away
... Read more from that. Ms. Lewis has no appreciation for the parents who chose to send their children to that school. School responsible is to work with parents to ensure that each child academic and social skills is been developed. Our Lady of Grace is not meeting that. I rate the school a C for academic achievements (the teachers) and an overall F for leadership (Principal Ms. Lewis and other administrative staff). The leadership sets the tone of the school.

This school is in need of a serious make over. The clasess are extremely over crowed. (There are anywhere from 27-35 kids per calls room) One would think since they are paying for there children education, it would be a classroom where there where no more than 25 kids per class room, and that still
... Read more pushing it. There are no extracurricular activities and the level of parent involvment is next to none. I personally think the teachers really need to take a few workshop and learn how to deal with kids in an effective manner which would promote posivitiy and self encouragment. Also the staffs are not helpful, not to mention rude. The school crossing guard is only there 2 to 3 times per week and so is the school nurse. Hopefully the principal Mrs. Lewis have a sit down with here staff ASAP. Read less

This school has the potential to be great but the continue over crowding of classes reminds me of public school. The school appears to only care about money rather that the teaching. The school hardly has any extra activies (ie. Music, second language). Send your child to a private school. Catholic schools

Some teachers are running back and forth from class to class because there are no subs. There is no school nurse. The school aid sub classes (who ever heard of such a thing)! This school needs to get it's act together fast! Read less
