We have two children at Linden and going on our third year here. We are so happy with the staff, and our children’s experience! Our daughter got more than enough support during her 3rd grade year to pass the TCAP test when she had always been borderline. Teachers are transparent, go far above expectations! We can’t wait for our youngest to go here as well.

Oak Ridge High School has done everything right during COVID. They provided distance learning in March 2020, socially-distanced summer school in June and July. They opened on a hybrid schedule in August to keep children and staff safe. They had to make hard choices like limiting attendance for events or doing those events online. They also gave families the option for 100% online schooling. Teachers have been video teaching on Wednesdays for students who are struggling and they gave grade amnesty for students to make up work for past terms when if it became overwhelming. AVID teachers reached out to parents and students regularly, and the counseling department worked tirelessly at supporting students who struggle with mental health. The school gave free lunch AND breakfast to all students, and the school has a pantry to help families who were in need with things like extra groceries, school supplies and cleaning supplies.We couldn't have asked for a better group of teachers, staff and administrators. This has been hard on EVERYONE, but these folks have gone above and beyond to help their students and their families.

I have no idea why anybody thinks that there child going here will make their child excited to come to school. Trust me I went to that school.
