Our Lady of Mercy Catholic School

OLM has been a great school for my two boys that have been there from kindergarten to 8th grade. The school staff are all friendly and caring. Teachers like Mrs. Gotuaco, that heads the speach club, has really helped my kids with life skills and confidence. The campus is immaculate thanks to Mr. Niño who goes above and beyond any school grounds keeper. The principal Mr. Burgos has created a safe environment for the children with a no bullying policy and is always greeting the parents and knows every childs name in the school. We have grown close to the other parents as most are involved and volunteer. As a volunteer basketball coach myself, I see 1st hand how the kids have catholic values of respect and love for one another. OLM is truely like a family and highly recommend.

I didn't have the greatest experience when I was a student at OLM. I attended OLM from 1998-2006. Obviously being a Catholic school, students are taught to be disciplined and respectful, all with the teachings of the Bible. Like all children from grades 1-8, I was also bullied. Teachers gave time out to the bully, but they would mostly scold the victim for not standing up to the bully. Then, if there were still issues, the victim can notify the school principal, which usually worked. When I was at this school, the principal was Mrs. Fife. She was a fantastic principal and handled issues with care. I think the school went downhill after she left.

If you choose to bring your child here and he/she needs extra help, know that there are resource and counseling centers. There are also a handful of extra-curricular activities from sports, choir, altar server, school government, and more.
