Terrific school overall. My son started at PREK-3 and now will start 1st grade. He loves his teachers. My wife often volunteered and she was amazed how professional, patient and brilliant our son teachers are. I am impressed that even it is a catholic school it accepts kids of any religion. Most kids live close by, so they are friends not only from school but from neighborhood playgrounds. OSM is a Blue Ribbon awarded school and is is well deserved.

Amazing school overall. If you can afford it, it is a no brainer vs Chicago Public school. Zero bullying. Teachers are amazing and their communication with parents very prompt. My son loves his school and classmates. I am happy students attend weekly mass and focus on God and Education.

Incompetent and dishonest administration. School and parents failed to instill values in students. Cheating rampant. Lack of rigor in curriculum. Style over substance.
