So far I have overall been very happy with the education my son is receiving. My sons seems very engaged and challenged. I am hoping the choice to send him here will pay off for his journey to college.

I was a student at OLL for four years and I had an amazing experience. I would say that the best part of their curriculum is the college-readiness. I was very prepared for college and now go to an amazing college that I love. I would say that the worst part of their curriculum was the heavy enforcement of rules. Of course this varies from person to person, but I believe that rules are flexible, especially in high school. They believed rules are never meant to be broken or bent.

The school is great in preparing students for college. The academics are amazing and so is the college counselor. The school also has great connections to many ivy leagues and top universities and colleges. However, the school lacks diversity and attention to offensive students.

My child was harrased and bullied by students, HEAVILY by the administration and nothing was done....

They love to find ways to expel and run away with tuition money that was spent...

Shame that the employees that are trying to do good, are stifled by certain senior members of the faculty who will lie to your face and know that there are no repercussion's for their actions. Can’t recommend this school due to the lack of values they show to students and parents alike.

I advise against enrolling your children in this school. The administration displays poor conduct and racial bias, evident in their minimal minority staff and unjust treatment of my grandson, who is Hispanic. Despite his honesty regarding a vape found in his possession, which he explained belonged t...
