Our Lady of Perpetual Help

While the staff is pleasant and nice. They are stingy. They do not work with anyone to help better the community. They do not allow for their facilities to be rented out either even if they just are not in use. Like how ridiculous honestly, help thy neighbor but all of our stuff is not for you to use.

This has been a wonderful place for our family. We moved here three years ago and visited many schools. We chose OLPH and could not be happier. The sense of community is tremendous and the faculty and staff are awesome.

This school is fantastic. My son went there for a two hour tour and he was warmly welcomed by all the kids and staff. The price is very reasonable the only reason I gave it a 4 star is because of all the additional costs that add up like uniforms and many other things. The campus is safe and secure with locked gates and cameras. Overall I wouldn't hesitate to send your children here.

After taking one step on campus, I knew that Our Lady of Perpetual Help (OLPH) was the right place for my kids. Living in the area, we are fortunate to have many options to consider: from public, to charters, to private faith and non-faith based schools. And, although my husband is an alumni of OLPH, I did not want that to influence my decision. However, I simply could not deny how comfortable I immediately felt and how impressed I was with the tour. It started with the kindness that I received as I walked into the office to start my tour. Another parent overheard that I was touring and welcomed me and told me about how happy she was with the school and the faith community. My tour guide Maria was so patient and knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. And let me tell you I threw a lot at her as I'd done my homework! One thing that struck me was that no matter where we went on campus, there were connections. It became clear how much teachers and staff truly love what they do. Multiple teachers have 20+ year legacies, while others are former alumni, and still others started as homeroom moms and are now on the administrative staff! What makes them stay? Their dedication to educating children and providing a faith-based environment, their devotion to their teaching ministry, and the amazing staff they work with every day to shape our children into kind, responsible young people.  It isn't just the teachers who have this legacy, but it's also the parents. In fact, there are some families who have sent three generations to the school! Like my husband, many former graduates send their children to OLPH. This is what makes the community unique and special. Then, there is the academics. With small class sizes and highly qualified teachers, your child will be set up for success. Besides the core subjects, every class from K-8 learns Spanish. Additionally, the school has a Science Technology Engineering Art and Math (STEAM) room where creativity blooms. Lastly, as a faith-based school, religion is interwoven into the curriculum. The day begins with morning prayer and students volunteer to do readings over the loud speaker for all to hear. With weekly Mass and Sacrament preparation included in the day, children become full members of the church by the end of the third grade. Not Catholic? No problem! Although religion is a required part of the curriculum, receiving the Sacraments is a personal choice and many families choose our school with different religious or non-religious beliefs. We have a great sports program, wonderful pre- and post-school care, after school homework help, and so many fun enrichment programs to extend the day. We even have a Transitional Kindergarten program! We are a tremendous feeder into parochial high schools, with most of our 8th graders feeding into Brophy, Xavier, Notre Dame and others. Go take a tour today. I promise you won't be disappointed!
