(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - My daughter is a freshman at olchs and I love it! She gets a lot of homework but she is in some honors class so that is to be expected. The staff is awesome and the extercurricular activities seem to be great! I am glad that she goes to Oak Lawn and an looking forward for my son to go there also!
