Read what parents are saying about Oratory Preparatory SchoolThis is sadly a real review, and one that I never thought I would have to write. Our son was accepted last year as an 8th grade, mid-year transfer student, and we were thrilled. After nearly 2 years of remote learning, we longed to get him back into in-person instruction. We thought for certain that our straight-A student would have a guaranteed slot for the next 4.5 years. During his 1st wk @ OP, he suffered a freak medical injury. He had a concussion and a severe neck injury. It took months of dr’s appointments for a confirmed diagnosis. We communicated daily with the administration @ OP, as we were terrified that he would be forced to repeat the year, or lose his spot for HS. The administration grew impatient, and threatened grade retention. Our son proudly completed all assignments, ending the semester with a 4.0GPA. The school congratulated him by kicking him out and notifying us on 8/1.No compassion was shown by the administration, however, most of his teachers were lovely and patient.No child should suffer from a severe medical issue/disability, work so hard to complete all assigned work, earn a 4.0, and get kicked out of their spot for high school! Shame on the administration, for telling us, “we don’t care about the physician’s requested accommodations, as we do not derive any federal or state funding.”

Posted by a parent on 9/18/2018ORATORY PREP IS HELPING US RAISE A FINE YOUNG MAN; NOT JUST MANAGE THE TEENAGE YEARS.Our son became a student at OP in the seventh grade. Not only are we pleased with the friends he has made but we have had the opportunity to meet a community of wonderful parents. This school is academically challenging. Different academic tracks are available to all students. Athletics have become more competitive each year. The school does not only acknowledge it's athletes; the administration along with the student body equally applaud the achievements of students in academics, clubs and community . We look forward to the addition of the 10,000 SF building; enrollment in the school has grown by leaps and bounds in the last few years creating a waiting list. There are other excellent high schools in this area but we are pleased that we have chosen this one. This is a school we will continue to support it after he graduates!
Posted by a parent on 10/25/2015I am a graduate of Oratory Preparatory School. I can say that the morals and values instilled by ALL of the faculty and staff at this great instituation have built a considerable foundation for success. I have seen time and time again where I have gone back to principles that I gained at Oratory allow me to succeed in situations where other peers may have struggled. The smaller class sizes, focused daily attention, and community centric spirit enabled my classmates and I to grow and become strong young men of all backgrounds and diversities. Oratory is a close knit community. And a place that truly believes in you from day one. They continue to help you throughout life and remain a supportive foundation through lifes experiences.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe most racist and toxic school in Chatham. I have never met so many rude and judgmental teachers in my life. Don't get me started on the principal, Dr. Ross. I can't believe on how two faced someone could be. This school changes children to either draw away from God or stop being themselves. My sister had the most terrible treatment in this school, she didn't get the help she was seeking for academic and bullying purposes. The only person who really understood her and supported her was the Spanish teacher (she transferred out), who we - especially for my little sister - thank very much. You barely see children of color, I wonder why....Parent Review2y ago - Kent Place School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am a older alumni and I can testify that Kent Place is an amazing school. The classes are difficult but the rewards are so amazing. Your child will learn everything she needs to know to be well prepared for the world academically, emotionally, and will discover life long friends here. Like any school, there will be issues. I was there from kindergarten through 12 the grade and went on to Tulane University. I received my Masters in social work and has an amazing career until I recently retired due to health issues. Kent place has academics, drama, music, sports, clubs, inclusion, traditions, everything one needs to become happy and stablemOther Review1y ago - Oak Knoll School of the Holy Child

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur daughter is a junior and has been attending Oak Knoll since 4th grade and we couldn't have been happier with the decision we made. She is flourishing in academics, athletics, and her friends (and their families) are really great people. My daughter has been exposed to volunteering opportunities which exposed her to the joy of giving back to others. Jen Landis, the Head of Schools, is a role model for the girls in the Upper School. We couldn't be happier with the experience - both ours and our daughter's. Oak Knoll carefully curates each student's experience to be purposeful and learn through doing.Parent Review5mo ago
