I find the environment at OLOW to be one of caring, consistency and kindness. Many students left this year which was great because most of them were the kids that were disruptive with parents who expected the school to fix their child's behavioral issues. The academics are above our public school neighbors.

My children will not be returning this year. I'm tired of the lack of communication and the denial of any problems in the school. I feel the teachers don't extend themselves anymore then they have to. Many families have left this year for simular reasons. I hope the decline of enrollment and the fact

I pulled my children from this school due to the multiple problems occuring within the school. Everybody is pulling their kids out of the junior high. The junior high offers no social interaction, no preparation for high school, and the kids are treated like they are in kindergarten. This led to

I was very happy with the school in the earlier years K,1, 2 and 3. As my daughter got older however, I found the school to be very limiting. Since there is only one class per grade, the children will remain with many of the same classmates. If your child hapens to end up in a class with a well behaved

However, if you end up with a class of difficult kids, you can be dealing with all the troubles that go with it for a very long time. I agree wholeheartedly with some previous comments that there are those parents/families that have way too much control and leeway with the administration. Read less

My kids were very unhappy here. The school used to be much better. Behavior problems and stressed out teachers are abundent. Boring!!! Kids stay in classroom all day. I agree that public school is better and has more to offer.

I removed my children from OLOW for many reasons. My children were bored. They were restrained academically so that others who needed special attention could try to catch up. The administration caters to a certain group of parents/students and do not properly address the behavioral issues of many

I think this school is not very good. We don't have a gym, cafetiria, lunch program, or a recess yard and is not worth the tuition my parents pay. Most children are disrespectful to the substitute teachers and is meant for a jr. high school.

I have a child in OLOW and have been especially pleased with the staff and quality of education. That being said, it most definately has one of the most clique oriented groups of parents I have ever seen, and yes, as written below, the administration does cater to the clique.

I wish to address the former post regarding the 'Special Ed' issues: Parochial schools, in general, have never been, or will ever appear to be, prepared to instruct the child with special education issues. The parents are not going to the trouble to register their children and pay the tuition just to
... Read more avoid the 'SpEd' label...come on! These parents, whose children may or may not be children with needs, are probably former parochial attendees themselves, and are doing for their child what was done for them. Do you really think a parent would deliberately enroll a special needs child in a school that is not equipped to address their issues? No. And I would also like to point out to that if their children were enrolled in the Port Jefferson school district, the child with 'SpEd' issues would not be in a sep class. they mainstream the SpEd children in reg classes.
