Oakland beach elementary has not only provided my children a safe environment to learn but the teachers genuinely care about the success of the students and the growth of community support.

This school derives it’s legitimacy from the few students that are actually smart. The grades of students whose parents are on the board of trustees or are donors are inflated by threatening to fire teachers that do not give them grades they do not deserve. There are good teachers there, but the best are pressured to give better grades to the select few for no reason. Those with the best grades rarely have the highest grades in an objective environment such as the SAT or ACT. There are plenty of students who were kicked out of multiple private schools and this was their only option. Because the school is small their athletics teams are never able to compete so another segment is students enrolled simply because they are good at sports. Unless you are extremely wealthy it is not worth it. If you can actually afford tuition, buy your kid a house instead.

This school is genuinely disgusting. My child went here and they offered no mental support when dealing with a mass bullying issue (that gave my child years of trauma) and chose to ignore it despite their "no tolerance" policy. The education is good, but all of the teachers besides one simply did not acknowledge that my kid has ADHD and were not respectful AT ALL. The principal was extremely unprofessional and unsupportive. Please do not send your kids here if you value their mental health.
