Our Lady of The Holy Rosary CA

What Our Lady of The Holy Rosary CA does

Our Lady of the Holy Rosary School (OLHR) is a private Roman Catholic parish elementary school located at 7802 Vineland Avenue in Sun Valley, California, operating continuously since its founding on September 29, 1950. It serves Preschool through 8th grade under the governance of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and is associated with Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Parish, staffed by the Missionaries of St. Charles – Scalabrinians. The school currently operates with approximately 14–15 faculty and staff, holds full six-year accreditation (the maximum available) from both the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Western Catholic Educational Association (WCEA), and follows curriculum standards stipulated by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and aligned with California State Standards. The current principal, Ms. Araceli Esparza, has led the school community since 2022, when administrative responsibility transitioned from the Sister Servants of the Blessed Sacrament to lay leadership.

OLHR's core offering is a faith-integrated K-8 education program spanning Transitional Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and grades 1–8, plus full-day and half-day Preschool options, with spiritual formation, sacramental preparation, athletics through the Saint Sebastian Sports Project, choir, student council, computer literacy, Title I reading/math support (via LAUSD), and on-site counseling services (via Counseling Partners of Los Angeles). Its technology stack is built on standard educational SaaS rather than proprietary systems: Gradelink handles online student enrollment and grade management, FACTS Tuition Management processes electronic tuition payments, Google Classroom supports instruction, Google Calendar publishes school events, and the STAR Assessment system administers academic evaluations three times per year. Marketing and family engagement run through the school's olhrschool.org website, Facebook and YouTube pages, weekly email bulletins, parent webinars, Open House events, and recurring community fundraisers.

The school's revenue model is tuition-driven and subscription-style, with families paying monthly installments from August through May. Published K-8 tuition ranges from $4,710/year for one child to $12,240/year for four or more children, while Preschool runs $450–$1,250/month depending on schedule and family size, and Transitional Kindergarten is $550/month. Additional revenue streams include one-time registration fees ($250–$300/child), technology ($75) and classroom/art fees, an 8th-grade graduation fee ($300), mandatory fundraising participation in the $400/family Crusader Campaign, and various smaller fundraisers (See's Candies, dine-out nights, etc.). Affordability is supported through need-based Catholic Education Foundation tuition assistance (~$1,000/student), multi-child and prepayment discounts, and a service-hour requirement (25 hours or $300 payout). The school is a nonprofit parish institution with no public equity, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity disclosed.

Direct peers

• St. Charles Borromeo School: Fellow Archdiocese of Los Angeles Catholic K–8 school in North Hollywood, just minutes from OLHR. Most directly comparable peer due to shared parish-school model, similar tuition structure, same accrediting bodies, and overlapping Sun Valley-area catchment.
• Guardian Angel School: Archdiocese of Los Angeles Catholic elementary school (Pre-K–8) in the greater LA area. Comparable peer because it is a parish-affiliated, faith-based K–8 institution with similar curriculum structure and tuition-based revenue model.
• St. Didacus School: Parish-affiliated Catholic elementary school (K–8) in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles serving the San Fernando Valley. Directly comparable along faith-based K–8 mission, tuition model, and WASC/WCEA accreditation framework.

• Archdiocese of Los Angeles Catholic Schools: The umbrella system of ~200 parish and archdiocesan schools under which OLHR operates. Comparable as the governing network that sets curriculum, accreditation oversight, and operational standards for OLHR; parents and educators typically compare OLHR against this broader portfolio when choosing enrollment.
