OLG has shown lots of improvement from last year. The new teachers that came into the upper grades were a huge help. They pushed the children to learn and they actually did work. Finishing the book shouldn't be what is important. It should be mastering the work so they can retain the information- not

School year 2008-2009, my son's class did not finish all chapters in any subject. We are advised that unfinished chapters will be part of next year's program. They collected tution fee for the year to cover the entire text book, not some of it and now.... At least in public schools they finish all

It seems the principal and parish priest only want parents help for money, other donations and special events. When it comes to the classrooms parents are expected to 'mind their own business.' Many teachers seem unhappy and it affects the classrooms, including how children treat each other. There

Many times it seems like the 'right hand' doesn't know what the 'left hand' is doing. Even notes that go home and are signed by the principal are confusing or leave out important information, so parents have to ask the teachers a lot of questions about school events or procedures.

I am disappointed overall with OLG this year. The previous comments are right on. A few of the teachers are wonderful, others barely teach and if you complain they critize you or pick on your child. The principal always sides with the teachers. If your child is having trouble then it must be the

I have a hard time believing the my daughter can go from average to above average in Terra Nova's one year to being below average in all subjects the next. It's the teacher not the student or the parents. The school needs to acknowledge this or they won't be around for much longer as registration is down and there are a LOT of unhappy parents suggesting that they'll give the school one last year (2008-2009) and then look elsewhere. I am one of those parents considering this. Read less

WHile this school has some very good teachers. teh overall style of teaching is old school. Some teachers are in a rush to finish the book by the end of the year, and don not explain things properly that need explaining, leaving it up to the parents to reteach lessons, or pay someon to tutor their child

I believe that this school could be a good school but at this time I am not happy with their math curriculum. My daughter/son is in 8th grade and did not do well at all when taking the COOP test into high school because OLG is so behind in math. This is not fair to the children or the parents, they
