[quote=Anonymous]We are a current family and love OLV! Academically, it has been great for both of our kids - one a more natural, quick learner and the other that needs more help in remembering to turn in assignments and stay on task. We transferred from public and it was a good step up. Good teachers that care. Smaller classes - they vary by age, but around 16-20 when younger, and 20-25 when older. Our kids have about an hour of homework each night in later elementary years, which is good to see the reinforcement, but not take up all of their after-school time. Both do well on MAP tests, as do many at the school.

The community has been wonderful. There are after-school activities for the younger kids, lots of parent-organized play dates and the older kids all hang out after school and on weekends. Parents become friends as well. There are a few parent-only and family events to get to know everyone.

OLV actually has a great CYO sports program, but, as someone was alluding to earlier, not great sports facilities. CYO is rec level and the good athletes do supplement with travel sports. That happens everywhere though. Any public or private elementary or middle school in the area only has rec level sports. Anyone who wants to play in HS these days plays club/travel/AAU. We do wish the playground and facilities were a little better, but for ~15K a year compared to 50-60K, we are fine with it![/quote]
