If your student is in special education or has an IEP, I strongly recommend you find another school. It’s a scavenger hunt everyday just trying to get them into the school. You’ll either wait at a gate or in the office until they’re late before someone comes to get them. It’ll be a different person

If you are interested in this private school solely for social status, then this is the school for you. However, if you're interested or care about the safety of your student, their faith or an environment, free of bullying this is not where you will want to spend your money. Additionally, the school will sell you a bill of goods telling you that you are receiving a stellar education when really it is a subpar public school education with very limited resources. Unsure if this is correct? Just ask for a curriculum list and compare it to your nearest public school. Same books. Less resources. Also, multiple families who have left the school have realized that their students were behind when pulling them out OLPH, even those with students near the top of their class.If you run into issues with the administration, teachers, etc.Do your research. Don't waste the money. There are better options all around.
