Our Lady Of Perpetual Help School

Olph is more than a school, it is a family. Like every family sometimes there are bumps but those bumps are in the past and our future is looking bright. We have upgraded programs, dedicated teachers and a wonderful Principal starting her 2nd year with our family. I would not send my children anywhere else.

OLPH is a different school than it was four years ago. Carl Jankowski’s tenure has been the final nail in the school’s coffin. He has driven away a lot of the families and teachers that made the school what it was. They have been replaced by inexperienced and under qualified teachers and many families who aren’t part of the Maple Shade community at all.

Olph has been a nightmare. The principal treats parents with disrespect, engaging in childish shouting matches. The teachers are okay, but the school doesn't have much going for it anymore.

We love our school & parish community. There have been issues but our voices have finally been heard. Our current Principal, Carl Jankowski has been a huge negative to our community. His interaction with our parents & school community has been at times contentious and borderline hostile. He was arrogant, unprofessional and rude. He was also very intimidating with our children by calling them into his office and interrogating them at length over events that took place outside of school. My only hope is that should he somehow attempt to end up as an administrator at another school that they throughly check his references so he can not try to ruin another school. Through his tenure, he sadly drove off many families but there is GREAT NEWS and a light at the end of this tunnel. It was recently announced that our prayers & complaints have been answered and he will be LEAVING at the end of this school year. This is a HUGE positive for the school. This change in leadership is seen as a big step in the right direction and an opportunity for our dedicated teachers and staff to flourish. Do not let negative stories of the past deter you from our OLPH family. Great things are coming for our school!!! We have the best teachers & school community. We are a family and it shows.

My overall experience with this school has been good. I would recommend it to other parents. It is worth the tuition. My child has enjoyed their time at OLPH and I have been happy with the education and opportunities.
