re: BR schools: SJV vs OLOM

Mercy would be easier to get to IMO, but it’s my pick regardless of traffic. SJV seems to be academically less rigorous- depending on your kids needs, this might be good or bad. Also, SJV has iron fencing all around the core of its campus making it feel like a prison.

Yes to the above. The content the teachers present is basically the same as all of the other feeder schools, but the kids are not held to a high enough standard. I don't think it's the fault of the teachers. The area surrounding SJV is not the safest.
