This school is awesome! My son's teacher Mr.Barrio and his para Mrs. Crespo are wonderful! They show sincerity and patience with my son and we couldn't be happier. The principal is very nice and sincere as well. We transferred here from Ward Highlands where he had a terrible teacher and had a bad day everyday. He has done nothing but thrive at Maplewood. His grades are up and he comes home smiling everyday ready to go back. Mr. Barrio and Mrs. Crespo are a blessing! So glad we found them!

Dangerous situation with rear fence gate left open for an hour in morning and without any safety officer to man the area in back! We feel the school administration is great at lip service but unwilling to go the extra mile for students. Because of the bizarre and onerous racist demands of the current governor, teachers are unable to provide accurate historical information to students. Student library has been scraped of many useful books, owing to the extremist approaches and malign influence of religious zealots. Our child began to hate school after the first week, complaining that the classes were "boring". Our child was never challenged unless we parents requested additional homework, although ultimately this was provided and graded properly.

These ratings are meant solely for the daycare. The people are nice. It is affordable, but it is unclean. There is little to no educational value. I do not believe this is a safe environment for children.

I used to come here and it was a great experience for me up until 5th grade I thought the teacher always helped whenever possible and always put the safety of students first i greatly recommend letting your child come here

I have been working at Montessori Preparatory for two years now, and during this time, I have witnessed what an incredible school it is. Every day, I observe how much each teacher cares for every student, even those who are not in their own classrooms. I am also impressed by the amount of knowledge the students gain here. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a loving and caring school community.

My daughter has been at OCA since VPK. When she finished VPK, she could read. Now she's in second grade. Her GPA is 4.00 and she's always excelled on national tests. On the negative side, I think they're sometimes disorganized and don't have a good, engaging program for gifted children.
