Mary Our Queen School

Posted: October 3, 2018

Mary Our Queen was great and had strong test scores student wise. Wish the teachers, and administration cared. Changes need to be made, and it could have the potential to be good.

Teachers will lose homework, and students will be punished.

Posted: October 3, 2018

Only Jr High theology teacher really wants to be there and was a ‘trusted adult.’ Math teacher and biology teacher also wanted to be there. Primary teachers are fairly consistent, sixth grade they become bullies.

Posted: October 3, 2018

They try to establish it, and then the teachers take over because they don’t trust the students.

A kid in my class had a learning problem and was bullied by teachers, especially the school counselor, who was known to shove, and push children if they weren’t walking fast enough for her.

So no, they don’t know how to handle it, there were very little students with learning differences due to this, and one transferred due to the counselor.

Students in my grade didn’t have a problem, but almost every other one did. Eighth grade English teacher bullied every boy and 4 girls in 2018.

Disappointing and awful were our experience with students, most parents and the adminissraton

Posted: August 3, 2018

Some teachers are okay with homework; however, the majority do not seem to be able to keep track of assignments. As well, classroom time is poorly managed, resulting in too much homework, due to poor teaching.

Physically present, but mentally absent for the most part. Few exceptions

Posted: August 3, 2018

Bullying is rampant, and it starts with the parents. If you are not part of the in crowd, you are excluded and your child likely will be too. Very little Christian behavior seen from the students or the parents.

Posted: August 3, 2018

The parents lead the school, not the administration. Bullying is tolerated, especially if the student has a parent who is involved with the school board or home and school association. There are no consequences.

Bullying is present at almost every grade. If you didn't have older brothers or sisters who went or go here, or you aren't from the neighborhood or in the in crowd, you probably will be bullied. Students who are different aren't accepted.

We have spent an amazing decade at Mary Our Queen. I am so grateful that we made this choice and look forward to the years we have remaining. The advanced math program allowed our child to complete 2 years of college calculus while in high school. Our kids that have needed academic assistance have been embraced by the faculty and nurtured to gain confidence and skill to make it to grade level. Come visit us and see for yourself how you would fit into this great school and community.

Most of the teachers give homework that enhances the classroom experience. It is not just busy work.

Posted: July 7, 2018

The teachers use a variety of tools to make sure students are learning the material. These men and women are dedicated to working with the parents to achieve academic excellence.

Posted: July 7, 2018

Prayer and faith are integrated into each class so students learn to be compassionate and respectful. There are many student driven service projects that highlight their enthusiasm for helping others.

Posted: July 7, 2018

The leadership team works well together to make sure each child's needs are being met, the school stays on budget and it is a safe learning environment.

Posted: July 7, 2018

Mary Our Queen has wonderful teachers and resource staff that is able to help students who are high achievers or who need a moderate amount of help. The needs of those with severe learning challenges would be difficult to assist given the available resources. Not that out teachers do not have the skills, we just do not have the resources afforded the public schools in our area.

Posted: July 7, 2018

The few instances of bullying that I am aware of were handled swiftly by the principal and the school counselor.

Posted: February 9, 2018

Bad at best. Much weaker than public schools in the area.

Posted: February 9, 2018

Teachers lose homework and administration is weak.

Posted: February 9, 2018

They do a bad job with high aptitude kids. Also, although the school uses an online system, it's never up to date and the administration doesn't care to have it mandated. It's very hard for a parent to verify how his/her child is doing . Upper level math program teacher is awful and doesn't help smart kids reach their potential.

Weak and dishonest. There is a need for some changes at the top.

Posted: February 9, 2018

Although they claim to, they teachers fall short and the administration lets them.

Posted: February 9, 2018

2 students in my kid's class have transferred due to an administration that does nothing.

I loved going here and I felt really prepared to go to highschool and tackle the "real world"!

Agreed with another review that kids who are friends with the teacher's kids or whose parents are friends with the teachers directly get a pass on bad behavior.

Posted: May 8, 2017

Kids who could advance must follow the prescribed curriculum even if they are bored.. Kids who are behind are sent to public school.

The community is wonderful. The principal is amazing/ very present in every way. She is a great role model and fully committed. Academics are good, but could do a better job challenging those kids who are ahead of the curve. Good opportunities for athletic development. Overall, I'm very happy we chose this school for our children.

The teachers will just look the other way if they here of a such a thing.

Posted: January 28, 2017

They will simply offer you the public education system in such a case.

Posted: January 28, 2017

Often the parents lead the administration and not the staff.

Posted: January 28, 2017

There seems to be more turnover with the teachers at Mary Our Queen.

Posted: January 28, 2017

The level of instruction is far behind other private schools.

Posted: January 28, 2017

The level of education is far behind other Omaha private schools. Bullying and social media abuse occurs and the staff needs instruction on how to handle it. I would not recommend this school.

From what I've seen it seems like the kids whose parents are the most popular (friends of the teachers, or always at the school) if they are mean or bully other kids, it gets overlooked.

Posted: April 5, 2016

Mixed reviews on MOQ. One child loves it and has made good friends and is thriving. Our other child is very bright, but is ADHD. The teachers and staff seem to overact anytime he goes outside their limited view of how he should act. His voice is a little loud or he's slow to join the class and they label him as a problem. Also because the teachers treat him differently, the kids are mean to him. They want to expand their enrollment, but they are driving away families who are already there and contribute a lot both in time and money to keep the school going.

Posted: April 23, 2015

Mary Our Queen has a wonderful community of parents and students who are actively involved. There are many different ways for parents to become involved in the community and it feels like one large family. We love the teachers at MOQ as they are compassionate and educated and love what they do. The only problem we have seen at MOQ is the administration. The current principal needs to be removed. We adored the previous principal as she was a wonderful leader who was involved and loved her school. The current principal runs the school like a business. She is not compassionate and doesn't like to acknowledge any problems in her school. There is a large problem with bullying going on, but she pretends it isn't happening. There are no programs to educate the kids on bullying and what to do if there's a problem. Parents have complained on the parent survey but she continues to ignore it. We've also noticed she's involved in many other things and is rarely at the school, leaving her duties in the hands of random people in the office while she is gone. I would love for them to find a different principal to get the school back to the days of being one large family with a wonderful leader!

Mary Our Queen is the best school in the city of Omaha!!! We drive our children 8 miles each way to attend MOQ. The school is very academically challenging, and I firmly believe that our children are thoroughly prepared to succeed in high school & life. Our Principal's background in Academic Standards at the Archdiocese has been great for our school. Our teachers & school staff include the kindest, most loving, & supportive people I know. My children have adored their teachers & feel loved in return. As a mother, I have found numerous opportunities to volunteer at the school & church. Through the MOMS program, Home & School Assoc, & Ladies' Guild, I have met a group of moms who have become my very best friends. My husband has made many close friends through Men's Club & MOQ sports. They continuously educate the students on treating others as Jesus would, with kindness, respect, & love. The school counselor was swift & thorough in resolving an issue between my child & another, involving unkind words. They required the children to meet together & one-on-one with the counselor several times. The girls learned how to make better, more Christian-like decisions & are now friends.

I'm so happy we found Mary Our Queen. The teachers are excellent, they do everything they can for the students. A solid Catholic foundation, they emphasize helping others and the community. They have a rigorous curriculum and offer a variety of extra curricular activities. The school has competitive Math and Robotics clubs. I am thrilled with the school and couldn't ask for more.

Posted: April 29, 2012

The principal refuses to acknowledge a huge problem with bulleying within the school. Her method in dealing with the problem is to deny that it exists. Acedemically, Mary Our Queen lacks and is much worse than other area catholic schools. Socially, the school has great extracurricular activities, sports and a wonderful sense of community in which all are made to feel welcome. There are many opportunities for volunteering and parental involvement. I have to give only one star though due to the seriousness of the bulleying problem and the lack of commitment to protect all students by the principal.
