I have nothing but good things to say about this school. Excellent teachers and librarians that truly seek out great educational experiences. I participated in the mystery reader program and felt the children really took an interest in expanding their reading experiences.

Done with this school. Those of you who love it, great for you. My child is out and in homeschool as of yesterday. The final straw was when this school replaced a needed academic class with some feel good self-esteem nonsense. You might want the school telling your child how they should feel and teaching

I have serious doubts about some of the administration and the choices they make. People remember back when you were a kid. We learned, we dealt with life and we didn't need some counselor telling us how to cope. I am a Christian and those are the values I will instill in my child. I will not have some government school do it for me! Read less

Love, love, love this school.

The school is too overcrowded, the teachers are great but they belong to a system that it's underpaying them and giving them more and more children in a limited space and with limited resources. After 2 years and a half I took my daughter out of this school, for so many reasons...the biggest one is
... Read more the curriculum. Children in general need to be challenged; the expectation bar needs to set high enough just in case if the children don't meet the expectation it will be ok. But when the bar is set too low and the children barely pass those CRCT test then we have a big problem. No Children Left Behind is a joke (it's defeating its purpose), I didn't want my daughter to belong to a failing system that stressed so much in score, and in the meantime the kids can't resolve a critical reasoning question.

Out 3 years in Oak Grove my younger son has only had 1 teacher he didn't care for. Out of 2 years in Oak Grove my older son loved them both. The library staff is super. The office staff usually does an outstanding job with helping me with questions on the phone or in person. Thanks to all of you

Oak Grove could use improvement with: Extracurricular Activities for After School Program- ditto sheets to color shouldn't be considered an activity (don't they do enough ditto sheets during school time?) Less overcrowding in each classroom-- especially in the very young grades Better two-way

I know this is a major problem today existing in many schools, but I think each school could get a little more creative with the approach while being successful.

We have two children at Oak Grove and have been satisfied with the teachers we have had. The AIM teacher is wonderful. Lunches have improved. There is a lack of after school activities for the kids.

My daughter is currently in her second year at Oak Grove and I have found the teachers absolutely outstanding and she is excelling academically. The library staff is also impressive! Unfortunately the school offers very little extracurricular activities for the younger students so it must be found outside

I feel the PTA is struggling with to many plans and not enough follow thru. Many parents have been active this year in her class compared to last year which helps so much with the students since kindergarten is the only class with a teachers helper. If I can find the quality of teachers in a private school I will switch in the next year or look into the home schooling that I've found many doing. Read less

I beleive that 99% of the teachers at Oakgrove do teach because they really enjoy it. But the 1% give Oakgrove the bad rap. My child Has now moved onto Chapman, and the only problem I find is that I do not beleive my daughter was actually ready. Not because she had bad teachers but because her teachers

We have thoroughly enjoyed working with our daughter's teacher and her progress during her two years at Oak Grove has been amazing. Several members of the office staff, however, are often rude and show little regard for the concerns of parents. A lesson in customer service would go a log way...
