Anonymous: The school enrollment number is completely inaccurate on this website. The school has seen its student population drop dramatically in the past few years. They blame it on the economy, but it is because the overall administration of the school is so poor. Many old school families are taking their children out to other private schools in the area and so this enrollment drop cannot be attributed to the weak economy, or they would be taking their children to free public schools. There used to be a waiting list to get accepted into this school many years ago, but now the enrollment is so low, there are rumors of it closing or merging with a nearby Star school (highest rating by the diocese). There are many serious issues at this school in terms of policy, lack of volunteers to do fundraising and also a recent loss of tuition due to the tuition collection company going bankrupt. Best to look at St. Pius or St. Anthony's in neighboring towns. The school expects many volunteer hours and contributions to keep the school going and families are required to sign a covenant in order to enroll their children here. No warmth or caring from the teachers and a complete lack of support to dual career families (i.e. most events going on during the day, never in the evenings).

Jesse Jackson: The school is closing or merging very soon. Everyone is leaving and they had only 110 students (not including PreK) last year. Now they must be way under 90 students. Look at the ethnicity numbers above - no diversity whatsoever. They have no African American students and a handful of hispanic students who attend for free because their parents are the cleaning people. Terrible environment here.

Anonymous: OLM is on a downward spiral. Parents are pulling there children out because of the negative environment. Seems like they care more about the Smartboards then keeping the children safe and feeling positive about themselves. The amount of time you are "required" to give as well as all the extra added fees makes choosing this school a heavy burden.
