Faculty and staff is amazing and was very well prepared for college academics. Administration made poor efforts to maintain the school. Variety of school activities/sports offered to students.

Excellent experience. My daughter was able explore all her interests and new things she never thought she would want to do. The teachers are accessible and engaging. Always willing to help.

I love mercy so much. I am currently a sophomore here. Although it has its ups and downs I still love it. But keep in mind, every school has that. I feel like I am at home in every club and activity I participate in. All the programs here are amazing. The teachers are amazing and care so much about the students. It is unfortunate to see this school closing since it is an amazing school. The only issue with Mercy is really that there is not enough students to do certain classes or activities.

Having attended Catholic grammar school and high school, taught in a Catholic high school, and been a parent of three children who attend Catholic schools, I believe that OLMA offers young women and their parents an alternative...

OLMA is an example of Catholic all girls education gone wrong. I regret sending my child at this school. In the last years good teachers have left, many have been asked to take pay cuts, less experienced teachers have been hired, many are teaching subjects outside their expertise, challenging class...
