Oakcrest School
Parent: Many pros. School has an amazing philosophy (i.e., seek holiness in the ordinary world). Academics are rigorous. Philosophy & history departments are outstanding. English courses are phenomenal. CHEM, Physics, and BIO instructors are solid. Catholic theology is made relevant. Chaplains are awesome! Music & theater dept is incredible. Athletics are good. Soccer, lacrosse & track are strong. Service is encouraged. Intern'l study is available. School forms strong women. Cons are: high tuition; high faculty turnover; inconsistent math instructor quality; lacking in foreign language courses; ethnic diversity exists, but outside of the classroom a missing element of friendly inclusiveness exists; school isn't equipped for learning differences & falls short of Catholic school guidelines; much subrosa mean behavior among girls goes uncorrected (on and offline)(school doesn't monitor seemingly libelous harmful student social media use) & college counseling could be better for the price.
