School Reviews

I can't say enough to praise the outstanding education my child is getting here. Likewise, I can not express my thanks to the school and staff in a manner sufficient to equal the level of positive change that is taking place in my son's life. Given the current dynamics of ongoing epidemic, we (Mom and I) were quiet hesitant to re-enroll our 3rd grader in the local public school; to say nothing of our frustration with the poor quality of that system in general and its lackluster quality of education specifically. Not so in the case of O.L.M. Within the current academic year alone, my son's reading, spelling, math and social skills have improved tremendously. That fact alone more than justifies any costs associated with the time, tuition, and transportation of sending our student out of the county to school. However, it is seeing my son display a level of confidence in his abilities and in himself which has been sorely absent in times past - to a parent; that has a value far and beyond measure.
