Our Lady of the Assumption School, an education ministry of Our Lady of the Assumption Parish Community, is a parish-based K-8 grade Catholic Elementary School.
Our Lady of the Assumption School provides an education for children who incorporate strong academic skills, social awareness and personal responsibility, and ethical and moral values as taught in the Catholic faith.

Welcome to Our Lady of the Assumption School!Thank you for your interest in our community.
Admission is based on consideration of the following criteria:
- Your family’s active participation, attendance and financial support of Our Lady of the Assumption Church and/or neighboring Catholic parish and church
- Attendance of siblings, relatives, including children of alumni of Our Lady of the Assumption School
- National Standardized Test Scores and report cards from your child’s previous school. We require current and previous 3 years for children entering grades 1-8.
- Other transfer information from another Catholic School and a recommendation from the School
- Number of applications for the upcoming school year
- Assessment of basic skills conducted by Our Lady of the Assumption School teachers. Our in-house assessments for incoming students begin each year on the first Saturday in February for the following academic year. Appointments are scheduled on that day or at another mutually convenient time. Your child meets with one on one with one of our teachers for a general assessment of their abilities, which usually takes about 30 minutes. The cost of the assessment is $75.00 for each child. Payment is necessary for an appointment.
We strongly recommend that all new families visit the school. We offer to escort you for a guided tour of the classrooms and see our teachers and children in action. Open house is held annually during Catholic Schools Week. As the primary educators parents are encouraged to ensure that the programs and environment offered by Our Lady of the Assumption will be a good fit for your child. We expect that parents and children follow school guidelines with regard to support for the personnel, the school and parish.
While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student’s emotional, academic and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student’s needs.
Thank you once more for your interest in Our Lady of the Assumption School community.
