the academics are vary good and the teachers will work with students who don't really understand. The teachers are also kind and not to strict but also not to "go do whatever you want i don't care". It is vary safe.It would be nice to do different things then the same things year after year. There's not a lot of bulling and no more than what you would get at any of the public schools in this area. The tuitions kind of high considering most of the families pay 20,000 in taxes most of which go to the schools. otherwise it's a great school.

The school provides quite a bit of safety and security measures. All doors are locked and you must be buzzed in. Students are instructed not to open the doors to strangers. The neighborhood is nice. The school conducts multiple fire and lock down drills. The school also provides a crossing guard. However, the students do play on a parking lot.

She honestly doesn't seem to know what to do with children, only interested in keeping parents happy. But i...

it has a welcome feel to it. The teachers care about the students and the students are respectful to the teachers.

As a former student of OLS I thought that this would be a great school for my daughter boy I was wrong. We chose this school after her previous school closed down, the class is the same size as a public school class with one teacher and a part time aide which I think is ridiculous for the amount of...
