Our experience with OHS has been nothing short of exceptional. It's been a fantastic environment for our kids, all of whom attended and flourished under its care. The school boasts a team of great teachers who create a nurturing atmosphere where every child feels valued and supported.What sets OHS apart is its commitment to creating a family environment. From the warm greetings at drop-off to the engaging activities throughout the day, our children felt at home here. The school organizes numerous events tailored for little ones, which not only enrich their social experiences but also strengthen the bond between the school and families.Academically, OHS excels in providing an effective learning environment. The curriculum is well-rounded, challenging, and designed to foster both intellectual growth and personal development. Our kids were consistently encouraged to explore their interests, ask questions, and think critically.Overall, we highly recommend Orchard Hills for any parent looking for a school that prioritizes both academic excellence and the emotional well-being of its students. It's more than a school; it's a supportive community where children thrive and families feel welcomed.

We moved from the schools on other side of town and the kids went to JFK. Then after the redistricting ended up at Pumpkin. The teachers are really great, I don't have any complaints with them at all. The administration however leaves much to be desired. They have zero consideration for the parents, really don't. I would even go so far as to say they have a passive aggressive, bully like mentality. This school has the least amount of activities for the kids and their families. Also has the least amount of parent participation.

JFK is basically like Disney it’s so calming and the teachers such as Mr.MacAloon is charming to be in a room with.!. I love this school I feel like this school is the best schools in the entire world it feels like magic and if you want your kid to get to a safe and calming school, that has teachers right by there side it’s here. JFK.

I wholeheartedly recommend St. Gabriel School for so many reasons. My children were in Public School for 3-4 years and had a horrible experience there. Once we pulled our children from Public School and started sending them to St. Gabriel School, they have blossomed both academically and socially. They went from crying because they didn't want to go to Public School to (now) crying because they have a snow day and are sad because they WANT to go to St. Gabriel School. St. Gabriel School is a wonderful little “hidden gem”…such an amazing environment!!!
