My daughter attended OLL from kindergarten throuugh 8th grade. What a mistake that was. The parents have no say in what happens at the school and the principal and vice principal don't do anything. The math departmant as well as the history and english departments are lacking. Expect at least 2 hours

The only, and I mean only thing that my daughter was prepared for in high school was science. The science teacher makes science fun and interesting to the kids. Overall, this school makes students do lots of busy work, does not provide accomidations for students with learning disabilities, and (for the most part) a terrible teaching staff. I highly reccomend not sending your child to this school. Read less

We moved to Oregon from the East Coast and my child started at OLL as a seventh grader. She is there now and has had a wonderful experience! What a warm and caring community of teachers, administrators, and parents. Plus the students, despite the fact that many had been together since kindergarten,

I went to parochial school myself (in Virginia) and my older children attended parochial school (in Maryland), and I would compare OLL very favorably.
