The place has the highest median SAT scores in the state, but not the highest average, because they keep about 25% of the slots for students with "different talents". The mottos tell it all: "Head, Heart and Hands" and "A Private School with a Public Purpose"... EVERY student takes a shop class every semester, and that only makes them better students, and humans.

    Being a brother of a current student and having applied here back when I was considering high…read moreschools, I must admit that Lick Wilmerding is a fine institution to send your child, sibling, or other loved one. When I applied in 1996, the school was dark, dank and was not a warm place where you would want your kids to go. But since then they've renovated the physical building, maintained a commitment to diversity, athletics, and the arts, and really created a great balance in the student body. According to my sister, the teaching is first rate and graduates go on to great universities. When it comes to private high schools in the city, you really can't go wrong with many of the schools (University, Urban, Lick, etc.). The only school I would consider a strong alternative is Lowell, widely considered one of the finest public schools in America. But that being said, LWHS is a great place to spend four years.

Bad is the simplest way to describe our time there, but if we were to go into detail it'll be an extremely long review. To begin, a lot of the teachers act like teenagers. They're grown adults who continue to be in students drama and you can tell who is their favorites. When we looked for help in classes, teachers refused to help. A lot of them only gave good grades to the students they liked, the others, who spoke out against this behavior got terrible grades. There was also a lot of fights and teacher and student conflicts. Here are the teachers we had conflict with: Keziah David Ryan Alias George Lee All three were like a clique, they came at students and would try to blame them for their mistakes. Ms. David would go through students phones, group chats, and ask personal questions and say that it was because she cared for us. Mr. Alias always followed behind her and would justify her actions. And Mr. Lee would yell at students, curse at them, and get angry with them for his grading mistakes. I would also like to mention that my friend and I both had between 3.0-3.8 gpa before going to Balboa. My friend who was there for the whole school was below a 2.5 gpa after being at Balboa. I was there for one semester and had a 2.57 gpa, I previously had a 3.3-3.8 gpa. That shows how much the teachers didn't help us. We are glad to be out of that school and we hope they fix their mistakes.

    Here's my honest review of Waldorf High School as an ex-student who was there for their first 2…read moreyears of high school. Starting off with IEPs and students with neurodiversity: when I, along with other neurodivergent students, would bring up how teachers seemed to ignore our accommodations, we were completely ignored by administration. Additionally, I have ADHD, which leads to needing to take occasional breaks from class due to overstimulation--made worse by the often intensive curriculum. When I would take a break and just walk around to clear my mind and noticed a facilities or safety/health issue, I brought it straight to teachers, administration, or the front desk. That's not my business, but I thought reporting it would be seen as taking initiative. Then I would go back to class when I refocused myself. These breaks were at a maximum of 15 minutes. Administration then proceeded to contact my legal guardians, claiming that I was "disruptive," when there were kids in class talking all the time and talking about very messed up and frankly inappropriate topics (which--you guessed it--was also ignored by administration). I will not be discussing those topics as I do not want to damage the reputation of this school that is great for some. I only want to inform and show you some flaws of the school. Anyway, back to the review. Staff had issues with each other and would openly criticize students' dress choices and neurodivergent people in front of other students. I still remember being criticized constantly by students, and teachers doing close to nothing--no follow-ups with parents for disruptive behavior. Maybe that was so "student morale" wouldn't be damaged. I was in art class and tried to make a cow out of clay. The copper teacher then proceeded to take the "cow," smash it back on the clay tray, and explain to me how it didn't look like a cow. He didn't even leave a picture up for visual learners--he just kept it up for a few minutes and told us to "remember how a cow looks." After I left this school my transcript was completely ruined and is extremely confusing for admissions counselors, every class is a .3 etc so it just makes everything confusing when adding credits up. My counselor at my current highschool took about 2 hours trying to "decode" my transcript Also, if you do decide to send your child here, make sure you're not afraid to go to the state if teachers ignore IEPs or accommodations. You will need the help. Also, Waldorf--retaliation based on this complaint will result in escalation to the state.

    Based on my years being there(1st-3rd) grade it wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst experience…read more I remember in my first grade class, we had cards, red, green, and yellow under our names. If we were misbehaving during class we. Like have to switch it from green to yellow or sometimes even green to red. For some reason that scared me growing up, especially the popsicle sticks. I remember for "tech class" it was up like 3-4 cases of stairs and there were broken windows, a creepy baby doll staring at you, and to top that all of, we didn't even have a tech teacher. Our teacher would just supervise us and make sure we were on the right website, they never corrected anything that we did wrong. It took me a good 3 years to learn how to type properly as they never taught us. When I transferred to a new school in 4th grade, I was a little bit behind, causing me to not understand the stuff they were learning in 4th grade. I was put in a resource group to help to help me comprehend stuff the other students were learning but I couldn't grasp on since I was behind. To this day, I suck at grammar and English. The rest of my grades are A's & B's. I remember at epiphany, in the 2nd grade we were learning about how to tell time on a clock, and we never looked back on that in 3rd grade. The other day, I was helping my younger brother(1st grade who attends the same school as me) with his homework and it was about how to tell time on clocks. I was genuinely surprised as I thought you learn about clocks when ur in 2nd -3rd grade as that was the environment I grew up in. After I had left, a good amount of people left. 3 other people of epiphany went to the current school we attend now.( which I am not naming due to privacy) Now I'm graduation 8th grade, class of 2024 and I'm still confused on stuff i was behind on due to not having enough knowledge from epiphany. Overall, it wasn't the worst experience but it certainly wasn't the best.

Who knows how things are now, but back then it was not very diverse. It was mostly Filipino. But that is a given seeing the location of this place. I always thought the place was huge, but when you are a kid, what doesn't? My teachers were great except my 4th grade teacher. She was a b!tch. So much that I still recall now that I'm almost 30. Maybe it was my fault? It was the start of me being rebellious. I remember before and after school going to the liquor store to buy candies and Marvel cards! I had a lot of friends there, and I have always wondered how my personality would have shaped up if I stayed there. To the what ifs..

It's not just a Catholic school, it is like a second family. Families know other families even if they're not in the same class. The kids cheer each other up and they always have fun during school events. Until now that my son is in high school, the families in his class still see each other. The friendship between kids and families extend outside of the school. The staff are nice and the school has a NEW principal who is very hands on, transparent, and who listens to students and parents. OLPH is almost 100 years old and still serving the community. It is academically competitive and at the same time gives the kids a good Catholic foundation. I highly recommend OLPH School!
