teachers sometimes don't have lesson plans or post homework and/or grades on RenWeb - It is a toxic environment for many students (I am a student there and I can speak from experience) that includes gossip and bullying - Students must get their own laptops but teachers have no way of making sure that they are doing what they need to be doing - While the international students are an excellent addition to the school, they don't pay attention in classes and are often disruptive - Bathrooms as well as the food offered are disgusting - The nurses are not helpful and do not offer solutions to injuries (ie: a cracker to treat a headache) - When offered extracurriculars, students do not get any variety and do not try - Students are also forced into school shows such as the Christmas show and the spring show - The school does not spend their money on things to improve student life but rather things to improve the looks of the school

Our Lady's Academy in Waltham is an excellent school. The principal, teachers, staff, and parents are the reason why the children succeed and advance in every aspect. The school is warm and inviting. The atmosphere is fun and the kids enjoy learning. I would recommend Our Lady's Academy to anyone.
