Whitehouse

I previously gave this school a good review but i must speak out about how the quality of the school has been in a steady decline. My child has been here for her whole elementary school years and is now in her last year (5th grade). The teachers used to be so involved with the parents, they were caring and communicated with both students and parents to make sure the kids were not missing a beat. But the past couple of years there has been a slow but steady decline in the quality of the communication, the staff and of the education in general. There are still some wonderful teachers there, however I believe the leadership (principal and vice principal who don't seem to take the parents' concerns seriously or hold our children's education to any type of standard) has a lot to do with it. If this is to be your school, just remain involved (as parents should anyway), and make sure that your children aren't silently struggling or falling behind with the curriculum.

I've been going to OPCA for a while now. I can say some of the other reviews are not true. Old Plank is a good school overall and includes learning about the Bible a lot. The only problems I really have are the teachers not wanting to teach. One of them plays videos on the screen instead of teaching the class. The only reason he is a teacher is because the other one left. The substitutes are sometimes people that are still in college and don't even have a degree. They aren't fit at ALL. The Chorus teacher doesn't know how to sing and doesn't teach at all. Other than that, I've had a wonderful time at OPCA. Everyone was welcoming and nice to me. All the teachers are kind and I have someone nice to talk to. OPCA has your back and they show a Christ-Like testimony. I was getting bullied but now that I've opened up, the bullying has lessened. I love Old Plank and recommend it to your student. As a person that currently goes there, I can say it's a safe and friendly environment!
