Oakwood Manor

Their connections with students feel very personalized and they are always coming up with ways to improve student interactions and education performance.

This is a great school!! Love the teachers and staff, love the diversity, overall 10 out of 10

This school lacks communication, and if you happen to have a special needs child they unfortunately won't be receiving all of the help that they need as the teacher in that specific room is overwhelmed and needs assistance. Also, I've noticed there's tons of issues with bullying and harassment that the school never takes the right appearance on by going through the chain of command. Overall I would not recommend sending your children here if it can be avoided as safety is an ongoing issue.

St. Andrew is as much our home as our actual house. I think any great experience starts with investment. I have seen a few negative reviews on here and I feel very strongly that you get back what you put in. St. Andrew's is not the school we started in 6 years ago for all the right reasons. The school still has its foundation, which is it's prominent teachers who not only love our kids but invest in them and who they are. The school is now focusing more on faith formation, stronger education, stronger teacher support and accountability for all students and their families. Both Father and our new principle are setting firm guidelines as to what St. Andrew is, a Catholic School and what it means to be a parishioner and school family. I personally think if you don't respect the Catholic Teachings this is not the place for you. We wanted an environment that not only loves our children but challenges them to be better people. It holds them accountable for themselves and encourages them to solve their own problems. We want a school that follows the true teachings of the Church and instills that in our children. Our school and parish have had many challenges over the past 4 years, but Father and Mrs. Draper have faced those head on, they have not avoided the hard conversations and been very transparent. Directness and honesty are considered mean or too harsh in today’s world by many but as a parent who wants to know what is going on I can’t say good enough things about the direct way Father and Mrs. Draper communicate. My children love Father; he has the right amount of seriousness and joking to be respected but approachable. Mrs. Draper is professional and serious but also so FUN. She has played football at recess, slide into boxed foods at school celebration, gone sledding with students after school. I have seen her shovel the walkway, help students out of the car and load trash in the dumpster. When your school leader is willing to do not only big important jobs but also small not fun jobs you know you have someone who just LOVES their job and is a great leader. Thank You St. Andrew for being a place we can call home.

I love St. Charles Borromeo Academy. My child is so happy, has fun every day, and really enjoys being part of sports like track and basketball. It’s such a joy seeing them excited to go to school.
