"We've only been living here for 2mos. but we are so impressed by the friendliness & comrades that is shown by everyone in the community. it's very good to see a neighborhood with people who seem to REALLY card about each other & their surroundings. People out everyday walking their dogs or just strolling saying hi to each other....IT'S GREAT !!!"

"It is a great neighborhood that I have lived in my entire life, the place has had its ups and downs but many of the houses are being re done and life is being brought back into them! The original owners of all these houses are dying off or selling so it’s becoming a much younger neighborhood "

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe Friends School was life changing for our son and family. He attended pre-K there and would have continued to go if we hadn't moved out of state. Our son has ADHD and may possibly be on the spectrum. He has issues dealing with his emotions and had severe behavioral issues. After just one school year, the change in him is amazing to see. He used to be the one who would hit other kids. Now he is the one showing restraint when other kids hit him. He is getting better at sharing and calming himself down. This school is worth every penny and was the best investment we could have made.Parent Review3y ago4 Reviews - Our Lady Of Lourdes School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOLOL school has been a blessing to our family over the past 9 years. Our children have been taught to be good stewards of their communities, to love and respect others, and always believe in their own value. There are so many ways for students and families to participate and be involved. The teachers and school staff care deeply about the kids. They have worked with us to address the learning differences of our daughter. Both of our children are excelling in their studies. OLOL continues to meet National Blue Ribbon standards, and just received formal recognition for a second time just a few years ago. We love Lourdes, and are proud to be Bearcats!Parent Review5y ago7 Reviews - Holy Trinity Parish School
