After going to White Oak Middle for three years I can say this: It's not as bad as people make it to be. First I'll start with my experience, I moved right after fifth grade to this school, knowing nobody. And, well, I soon made lots of friends, and grew close to many teachers. (And I'm a relatively shy person). Most teachers really do care about you, and what your doing. Almost all of the teachers at White Oak are qualified, and friendly. Trust me, don't worry about getting bad teachers. The curricular is well made. The Staff: The school just recently they updated their staff members, which was very much needed, and they are very strict on behavior, and acting right. When I say strict, I mean that they make you do as they say, but if you're in the guidelines, you don't have to worry. The staff greets everyone at the door each day with a smile, and each staff member is kind to the students, and actually friends with many students. The Cleanliness: You may not understand, but it is VERY hard to keep a middle school clean. There are a bunch of disrespectful people out there. But recently they have put much more effort into the cleanliness. The Extra-Curricular Activities: I am a VERY artsy person, and I couldn't go to a school without any arts departments, but this school has a slew of amazing arts. The two Art teachers have many supplies, not many schools have (modeling clay, kiln, etc.), and they grade, not on talent, but on hard work. Also both are very funny, and good at what they do. The Current Theater Director is Amazingly Wonderful, and she works VERY hard on each play she produces, and is a very fun person to be around. The Band is AMAZING, currently, we are a varsity band. Both of the Band Directors are amazingly talented, and make their Band perfect. (Go Bassoon!) . The Orchestra, and Choir are also amazing, and each director works their hardest, and asks you to join. Also, you can be in multiple activities, I'm in Orch., Band, and Art. The counselors work with each student on their schedule very well. Now, that's just the tip of the Iceberg, there's also an agriculture class, a career exploration class, dual language classes, a library helper class, and many more. I would talk about Sports, but I'm out of words. But I will say, they are very successful. Overall, White Oak is an amazing school, that just has a bad reputation.

The school doesn’t care about the special needs kids. They’re all thrown in the same classroom and they can barely keep special needs teachers. If your child is special needs please seek other options because this school is not it.

I enjoyed the experience in this school and I am still enjoying, the teachers always help to the students when they need help and in case you have any problem with homeworks or etc, you can always contact to the teacher via email and he/she always helps you. It is a very good school, it deserves more
