Mrs. Estrada, Mrs. Frederich, Mrs. Rosales and Mrs Chisolm (great teachers!) They work with each student and put them in groups and let them work at their own pace. No pressure.... only an environment that encourages each child to thrive. My daughter is reading 1st grade level books already. Even the yard duty supervisors know my daughter by name. A great school. Great parent involvement too! I'm proud to have my daughter attend White Oak Read less
