Our Lady Of Las Vegas School

Posted: November 30, 2025

The worst catholic school ever. This school used to be the best but since the new principal (Marisa) came in, it’s been going downhill. She hired unprofessional , unlicensed teachers. She’s the rudest person you can ever meet, she made the teachers life miserable and that reflects on our children. Teachers have ZERO passion for teaching, only they’re there for their paycheck. The very last thing they care about is our children education. Please don’t waste your time, hard earned money and energy as will earn nothing but stress. The reason why most parents choose catholic/ private school is because they want stress free but it’s totally the opposite.

After having our kids in 2 other schools, we're so glad we found Our Lady. It's a stable environment and a wonderful community. It's not cliquey like other private schools we've attended in the past. The teachers care about the kids while holding them to high standards. The Vice Principal is actively involved and we've found the Principal to be accessible if we have further questions. The curriculum is well rounded with plenty of after school curriculars and sports. So glad we've found the right school for our kids, and we're committed to staying.

Our experience at Our Lady has been wonderful. The school feels like a big family. The teachers are great and work tirelessly for the students.

The teachers are wonderful. You can tell they care about the students and work hard so they succeed.

The Vice Principal is wonderful and everywhere!

The School has been very responsive to our child's needs , they even did testing and found some issues to help him learn better and be more effective. A new level of respect has been taught. My child is much happier here and loves to go to school.

I have had my 3 children at this school for years. Although the school is not perfect (what school is), it is a family. You will not find this kind of community at any other school in the valley. We have watched families leave for "greener pastures" only to return because they missed the OLLV family. I would highly recommend this school!

I was at OLLV for 10 years. We love Our Lady. No school is perfect... the friendships made and relationships with the staff are hands down. There is not a lot of turn over which is very important. I feel my child was safe and learning the Catholic Faith is important to us. Its a great school!

I feel that my children are safe at this school and their academic levels are way above their friends from public and charter schools. Our Lady has excellent Sports, Science and Math Programs including a Learning Center for struggling students. However, some of the teachers are hit or miss and technology issues can be quite frustrating. Kudos to the Nixon, Dingerson and Martinez family of teachers for keeping some sense of unity at the school. Most of the information I receive for my children and family comes from them.

I attended Our Lady for my 7th and 8th grade school year. There was only one other new student that I made friends with, but because of the long-term bonds all of the other students had made years before, not many people wanted to befriend us. He and I had the worst years of school at Our Lady. Mrs. Dingerson and Mrs. Wallace were the best teachers on the campus and I still to this day remain in contact with them. I saw the principle twice my entire time at the school, once for being wrongly accused of something I didn't do, and a second time at graduation. Overall, I suggest never enrolling your child into this school unless they are under 8, or are extremely outgoing. This school was a waste of my families money and time.

My kid was punched and blamed by his teacher. Great message.

Principal is never there and vice principal is just a parking lot guard. No one handles parent or teacher problems.

Non qualified, don't care about education or your kids

Posted: January 17, 2017

Slam them one night nothing the next. Most with no purpose. Why are we still coloring in the fifth grade?!?

Posted: January 17, 2017

We have been at this school since pre-k but the shift to non qualified inappropriate teachers and admin that supports their bad behavior is over the top. It's unfortunate because some of the families have been amazing but the teachers, admin, and less than stellar academics makes this a less than one star school.

I have had 2 children that have gone through Our Lady, one has graduated and one is currwntly there. I will say this. There are some really good teachers there. Mr. And Mrs. Martinez, Ms. Morrow, Mrs. Dingerson. The problem is the principal Mrs. Joyce. She has no business running a school. She is the least involved administrator I have ever seen. She just recently hired a teacher with no license and no teaching experience at all. There were other applicants that were actual licensed teachers! How many of the parents know they are spending $600 a month for a parent to teach their child! This is outrageous. She has run off a lot of great teachers too. It is pathetic. I am so sad to see what ise to be a great school just being run i to the ground. FYI..the school's admission numbers are down 40%. Might be time to look for another school. Preferably one that actually has teachers teaching the kids.

The families and children who attend this school are wonderful, but the principal is extremely uninvolved and ineffective. Many good families and teachers have left this school (including ourselves) due to the lack of leadership and lack of involvement of the administrator. The principal is invisible and leaves work by 1 PM. She is not involved in the classrooms or activities outside of school. The bad reviews on this website are true. The technology teacher is awful and they learn nothing worthwhile in that class. My children also reported learning about eagles as a previous review states - and the kids don't learn how to use Excel or Powerpoint. One of the 5th grade teachers loses all the kids assignments and the school's solution is to tell the parents that it is their job to keep all of their children's work and then prove to the school that they did it. How about fire the teacher that loses all the kids work instead? This school will NOT IMPROVE until the diocese removes Mrs. Joyce as the principal. She is the reason the good teachers and the families all leave.

This school's technology class learns about eagles. Not even about how to use computers or any useful information to use for high school.

We had our child in Pre-K a few years ago and had the worst experience with his teacher - who had no business interacting with children based on her temperament, socials skills and sense of compassion. The front office did nothing to help us out- nothing. We pulled our child out and went on to a Lutheran pre-school where there were absolutely no issues from that day forward. I grew up in Catholic Schools- I have never seen anything like this - just so fundamentally wrong. Should have learned our lesson when Father Shanine baptized our child.

I had two children in in two different grades for four years an I pulled them. Most teachers should not be teaching they show no comparison. My kids were bullied the oldest the most. My child would always say this is a school of God why are the kids so mean? The office would never put it to a stop. The ladies in the office are two faced. They were nice to us and other parents but mean to the children. The only thing that drives this school is money! If your not in the click good luck that goes for the teachers,too. The teachers will not stay after to give any help who may need it. They when the kids leave. Most teachers look miserable and play two face. My children are better off in public school at least the teachers are held accountable and willing to help. PUBLIC Schools have a bully policy. My children are doing Very well in public school academically and emotionally now!

I am shocked how OLLV has gone from one scandal to another and yet goes on as if they are above it all. The people that run this school are running it as if it is a little boys club. Since they ousted Mr. Martinez years back, it has ran it's course. Martinez made the school enjoyable. Now I hear of parents taking their children out after seeing the lack of teaching. I am in awe of how they try and justify the price of admittance and little in return, but a God bless you and yet turn on you. From the smug little ladies at the front office to the ones that run this school. It is an embarrassment to the education system. They are content with taking your money and giving you one of their fake smiles. Turns you right off about Las Vegas. Where Vegas is trying to make strides. OLLV is seems to be the attitude of, thanks for your money and we will see what little we can get away with.

This is not a "private" school, but a parochial one. There IS a difference. The morals, faith, and dedication to our community, that are part of our lives, are supported by the faculty and staff. Classroom sizes are public system size, but the curriculum is far superior... traditional with a technology twist. Love the daily televised news by the students, and that there are no questions for the safety of our children. The administration and office staff are smiling, welcoming, and always helpful. Despite it's age, it is clean, in good repair, well landscaped and maintained. We love The school starts the day saying the pledge and morning prayers together as a community. Although there are 700 + students, the principal seems to know almost all by name, and makes herself available to answer our concerns or needs. She looks at a sampling of the students work each month, and personally responds to each student. Parent involvement, which includes finger-printing and a safety class, is welcomed, appreciated, and encouraged. If you want your children to be in a loving environment, offering a quality education with high student involvement expectations, this is the place for you!

The school is a disappointment. The main differences between Our Lady of Las Vegas school and a public school are Religion class and tuition fees. Quality of education and curriculum are poor. As a parent, why pay? Just send your kids to public school or magnet school. It is better for you and your kids.

My daughter is in her second year at the school and I've been generally quite happy with the teachers, curriculum, and administration. Yes, classroom sizes are a little on the large size. However, the younger grades have two teachers handling the load and ensuring kids are progressing to their potential. Overall, we're quite happy with the value of education she's receiving and plan to enroll her younger brother in a few years.
