I have two children who attend Ogle. This will be our third year at this school. And I must say, 'I LOVE OGLE'. I am a very involved parent and I spend several hours at the school each week. My children are reading and writing beautifully and they both have a super possitive attitude toward school.
... Read more They love to go! The school trys so hard to include parents in everything. I attend Good Morning Ogle every Friday morning, I eat lunch with my kiddo's, I am a volunteer, so I get to help their teachers with projects. I just love it! The teachers always have smiles on their faces and always make me feel welcome. I wouldn't dream of placing my children in any other school! Read less

My children have attended Ogle for both years that it has been open. They love it here and have excelled academically. Transitioning from private preK to public school is so drastic, which is why some parents might have a hard time with any public school. The kids have so much to learn in order to

It would be very disruptive if parents were allowed to drop into classes whenever they decide to, so I appreciate the school district's policy conerning limiting classroom interruptions. I have stopped by for lunch & assemblies on many occasions & have always felt welcome. My children had to attend several FISD schools before Ogle was built and they are all run the same way.

This school is a JOKE! Ever since attending Ogle my daughter has slowly started to become less confident and less engaged in her school work. She still gets high 90% grades. The way she describes it is very military like where the only concern the staff have is to maintain control. (I can't know

I'll be pulling her from this prison camp asap and moving her back to BOON or a Montessori school. Parents, please unite and help our kids. This school certainly won't... A concerned Dad Read less

I have a daughter that started attending Ogle this past fall (Kindergarten). So far, I have been very disappointed in the academics and the school overall. My first complaint is that the amount of parent involvement is very small. And because the way the principle has set up the PTA to run all student
... Read more activities, there's no incentive for parents to get involved. There's no ability for parents to do something 'special' for their child's class -- rather every class has to have 'exactly the same experience.' My other big complaint is related to the curriculum. Frisco uses the d'Nealean wriitng style in kindergarten. The problem is that the writing excercieses use one style of writing while reading excercises use traditional block letters. Read less

I had a child in K this past year. I was very impressed with the school. I loved the Friday morning pep rally. My son learned to read quickly and he loved his new friends. Besides that, I felt welcomed to visit. The Principal and Asst. Principal worked very hard. My son had a great experienced teacher.

There is wonderful parent involvement at Ogle. Many parents voiced concerns about various situations they saw occurring in the cafeteria or hallway and were ignored by the Principal. I have not been happy about the yelling that I have witnessed by some teachers at their students. I did not approve that
... Read more one teacher was dismissed at spring break and the parents nor the students had any idea that this was taking place. I think that some of the best teachers have left because of the lack of professionalism of the head administration, and that is a loss to the Ogle community. I wish that the administration put the education of our children first, and were not so concerned about being in control. Read less

Our family just moved to McKinney, our son is in the first grade and the first day he came home with 21 new friends - his words not mine, I was impressed with how well mannered the kids coming in and out of the office were. The staff is exceptionally helpful. The student population is ethnically diverse.
