Since the new principal took over, this school has gone from bad to worse. There is so much…read morebullying that is overlooked, the noon aids pay no attention to the students, which allows other students to be not just verbally violent, but physically violent to one another. The way they handle things sets kids up to be bullied even more. There is no real conflict mediation. Then if there's a problem with a teacher, it's not properly addressed without putting the parents and the student on full display. The school is operated in such an unethical manner now. The people in the office have the most rudest and disgusting attitudes, except for Mrs Rocio(hopefully correct spelling), she's super nice and always extremely helpful... the teachers here are very mean and act like they hate helping the kids achieve better. They make the kids feel like they are dumb to ask for extra help. They compare other students with the more advanced ones to their faces and that's not okay. A child should never be made to feel less than another. Everything reflects on the principal, who acts like she doesn't know how to run a school and naturally it shows with the way her teachers and aides etc are ALLOWED to run around and act. They deserve a misconduct award. Then when students go to them to try to get help for being picked on, they don't even actively listen and there are no repercussions for the other student, which gives them a free pass to continue picking on students because it's uncorrected and poorly handled. This school has sadly gone downhill since Mrs Alba got there. If you enroll your child here, please always check on your child's mental, talk to them about what goes on daily, make sure they open up to you about the teachers, the students. Etc... and never stop fighting for your child's rights to be protected from any form of abuse. I pray everybody's child who attends here is protected and covered by the blood of Jesus... lastly, I'll state, I pray that all parents stay proactive in their children's life so they will know it's not okay to bully, it's not okay to be disrespectful and walk around cussing and talking inappropriately. Schools have a job to do, but we as parents must also do our job as well. Teach your child to protect themselves as well, because they will encounter much bullying at this school. It's sad, but it's the reality of the way the school operates.

My siblings and I attended a private Christian school as children and we loved the OVERALL…read moreenvironment. The small classes and the one-on-one and overall attentiveness of the teachers and staff. The values and morals instilled at OCS are simply incomparable and are so similar to what we were taught growing up with a Christian education and in a Christian home. Being kind, treating others with respect and how you wish to be treated, loving your fellow mates, praising God daily and every night, and always putting God 1st. This school isn't just a school, it's a family. My niece has been here since kindergarten and just started 3rd grade and we couldn't have chosen a better "home" for her. The curriculum is unsurpassable. The kids rotate between their main teacher, language class, music, art and p.e. Their graduation percentage and college attendance is astounding. They teach the children to be honest, individual, creative thinkers. All things most schools don't offer until well AFTER elementary. They challenge the kids and they never feel defeated. They KNOW there is a next time & also are aware that they can't take that "next time" for granted. The entire office staff are the most kind and beautiful hearted people I've ever encountered. They are kind, endearing, very engaging and simply a blessing to have them in my nieces life. You'd really have to step onto this campus to get the warm feeling I'm trying to convey to see for yourself. It really and TRULY is a home away from home for the kids. Thank God for OCS.

They got a new principal and vice principal a few years ago and ever since then the school has…read morereally gone down hill. Don't get me wrong it was always a bit cliquey but it's taken a turn for the worse. The office staff is rude and disrespectful. The events are always communicated to the parents the day of, the day before, or in cases like today, the day after. That's finally what prompted me to write a review. There's typos in the communications from teachers and staff alike. And for how unorganized and late their communications are you'd think they'd show some grace for the students, but of course, they don't. The proctors or whoever it is that stand outside during onsite events have attitudes every single time. Sometimes I'm walking straight towards a ramp and they wait till my foot is on the ramp to tell me I had to go around. Now, why would you do that unless you want to be rude ?? Common sense would tell you to let people know on their approach, "hi, welcome, you're going to enter on your left" or something to that effect. A few years ago when the new "management" came in my child was being picked up for a fall and the office staff started yelling at my child and had her finger in my child's face when I had to say something. If that's how they treat kids when a parent is around, imagine when they're alone?? I really miss the old principal. He was the complete opposite of current administration. PFO and all the activities are so dull and sad looking and I know it's because of the leadership and the people who make it so unpleasant. I have one child at another school in the area due to special needs and it's like night and day with Edison. I'm talking parades, backdrops, Christmas presentations with props, the whole nine yards. Can't wait to be done with this school in two years.

We felt it right when we spoke with MsEmily for the first time way back in 2018. We were on the waitlist for a very longtime but the moment they called me to confirm there is an open slot, I didn't think twice registering my then 4 yr old son to this beautiful school! Fast forward 2026- I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to you and St. Mary's as an institution for shaping my son's academic journey. This Thursday, he will be receiving the Honor Roll, and while I'm not sure how big of a milestone it is officially, I am extremely proud and excited because he scored 3.74 out of 4, earning A or A+ in all subjects. The strong foundation provided by your school has made a world of difference. Honestly, when we first enrolled my son, I was concerned about how he would adjust to a new environment and a traditional 8-3 schedule, especially since this was not a Montessori setting. I worried about his performance in math, science, and social studies. However, my concerns quickly faded when I saw how easily he adapted--finishing homework in just 5-10 minutes during the early months. It was clear that the teaching approach and support he received made learning feel effortless for him. Thank you for your dedication and for creating an environment where students can thrive. We truly appreciate everything you've done for our kids. I miss stmarys! And great job MsNel List is long on why StMarys is a great school and worth each penny! I truly appreciate you and your teachings! Looking back, I remember how scared and unsure I was when we continued with St. Mary's in 2nd and 3rd grade. Today, my list of gratitude for Ms. Nel, Ms. Nancy, and the entire St. Mary's institution is too long to express fully. The way St. Mary's teaches core concepts--multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, science, and language--has given my child an incredibly strong foundation. Two-digit multiplication and division are now a piece of cake for him! To our surprise, transitioning to another traditional private or public school has not been as challenging as we feared, and that speaks volumes about the quality of education at St. Mary's. Honestly, St. Mary's level of education is much higher than UCA. We deeply miss so many things: the organic food, the innovative tools, the no-screen rule, teachers who truly teach rather than relying on YouTube, the humane approach to breaks, creative playtime, and the productive after-school care. The list goes on, and it shows how much we value and miss St. Mary's. You are absolutely shaping future leaders, adaptive thinkers, and high achievers. Thank you for everything you do.
