School Reviews

The school must have written the previous review because it couldn't be farther from the truth. OLPH used to be decent but IMO the leadership under Donna Lauro has resulted in bad morale among the few good teachers who haven't quite yet. Parents' concerns are regularly ignored and dismissed, and the quality of education of students is severely lacking. There are definitely better schools in the Diocese than this one. I've witnessed some of the staff and teachers be rude to parents and students. Serious waste of money and lost educational opportunities to go to this school.
