“I am a student at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and I'm in the 8th grade. I stared the school in 6th grade and love it. Mt. Carmel's teachers are wonderful and really work with the children and the principle leadership is above expectations. I can only say good things about Mt. Carmel and am certainly going to miss Mt. Carmel when I'm in high school. Mt. Carmel is a great school to send your children to learn in a safe and loving environment.”

“My child attended the preschool at OLMC (LIttle Lambs) and has been in the elementary school for two years now. I am more than please with his education. The teachers are very dedicated and highly qualified. The music program they have is wonderful. The music teacher goes above and beyond to put together a great program. Starting in the first grade students also have Spanish two days a week. My daughter will begin Kindergarten in the 2008-09 school year and we are looking forward to having another child part of the OLMC community. A great education in both standard academics and the Catholic faith.”

“When we first looked at schools five years ago, I looked and looked until we visted OLMC. At that point, my search came to a screeching halt because I knew OLMC was everything I was looking for in a school for my daughter. I have never been disappointed - OLMC has more than fulfilled my expectations. Bottom line is that I feel that my children are truly loved and academically challenged. The faculty and leadership are outstanding. The campus is older and might not be as striking as other schools. Don't let external appearances misguide you - what lies inside is golden.”

“I have 2 children currently enrolled at OLMC. We moved into the area last summer and this was the only Catholic school near our home that our children were able to enter without being on a waiting list. So we took a chance with this school. So far the school has many high points but also many areas for improvement, as all schools do. I have always believed the teachers make the experience positive for our kids. Both my kids had great teachers this year. The principal was completely open to hear and address any of our concerns. The librarian knows all the kids by name. Recess time would be enhanced with playground equipment. Academically, I am sure our kids could find a more challenging atmosphere, but in elementary school, I personally don't believe that is necessary. We will consider moving them in middle school to a more academically rigorous”

“I couldn't disagree more with the post from July 2005. That school did nothing but Challenge me. When I enrolled at OLMC I didn't speak any English. Sister Valeria (the principal at the time) took great care of me & closely monitored my progress. They assigned an 8th grader to tutor me in class & later a volunteer mom to tutor me after school. With the added help of watching Sesame Street twice a day, in 2 months I went from no English to being able to communicate fairly well & in 4 months you couldn't tell me apart from the native kids since I had no accent & still don't. Could I have done that without them? Eventually maybe but, much of my success was due to the dedication & nurturing I received from the OLMC staff. To this day I have very fond memories of that school.”

“OLMC is a wonderful school! Our children have thoroughly enjoyed their time there. The staff is positive, professional and hard working. The arts, sports and other activities are widely available for students. Parents are a key component to the school's success. If you're looking for a positive Catholic environment for your child to learn and grow both, academically and spiritually - OLMC is the best choice in the Diocese.”

“I am a former student of OLMC. I am now number 1 in my sophomore class. OLMC greatly prepared me for high school. The teacher, staff, parents, and administration were some of the most supportive people I've met. I was challenged everyday in my classes and have reaped the benefits everyday in my high school career. I recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a school deeply rooted in Catholic values that will meet all students' needs.”

“We enrolled our child at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel hoping for a disciplined, safe, healthy environment and above all, a challenging curriculum. Unfortunately, the class our child attended was not challenging and the reading level was below what our child was already achieving at home. The bathrooms at the school are not kept clean at all times and the level of teaching in the class our child attended did not meet our expectations or challenge our child.”
