Our Lady of Mercy Academy Reviews
Rating 3.81 out of 5 173 reviews
OLMA is a good place for a girl who is socially challenged and accustomed to fear based organization. The academics hardly match the robust offerings of Long Island public schools and cannot compete with SHA. The clubs exist in theory, but they hardly meet and are disorganized. The activities are fake, they exist in name only. The sports programs are weak. There are no instrumental ensembles... zero, zilch, nada, none! They seem to only care about the dance teams. Other than dance, the place is a nightmare. The teachers are underpaid, and miserable. The counselors are clueless and any question you might have about schedules or classes go unanswered or are forwarded to "the administration." "The Administration" is comprised of two low brow, angry women who use interrogation tactics to berate young girls, consistently escalating social drama. They stir the pot and take pleasure in putting down those girls they decide are "problems." It is an unprofessional, budget operation.
Our Lady of Mercy Academy (OLMA) is really special school. I'm a graduate, as are my two daughters. OLMA gave each of us a strong academic background, and provided a great foundation for life beyond high school. You're a name not a number at OLMA; the all-girls environment provides wonderful opportunities; and the dedicated administration, faculty and staff are always striving to make the school better! The Sisters of Mercy have built a school that allows each student to reach her full potential, in a truly Catholic environment that emphasizes faith, service, friendship and compassion. Excellent high school!
What a special, fun, enriching place for girls to attend high school! I am an alum and my 3 daughters attended OLMA. My daughters were very well prepared for college, both academically and socially. OLMA nurtures and educates young ladies and produces strong, responsible, honest, hard-working, faith-filled women leaders!
