As adoptive parents of an African-American son, we have found the Spring-Ford School District to lack advocacy and willingness to support non-white and non-binary students. We've spoken with school board members, the district superintendent, and principals, yet bullying and harassment is an everyday problem. Teachers are understanding, but we absolutely would not recommend Spring-Ford for children of color or non-binary children.

Great School, Great Teachers, Great Students, Great Community.

I lover all my teachers I had at the school

Disappointed in this school. When I first started my schooling career here at SF, I loved it. But that was when teachers taught core lessons and values, now they just pass anybody who walks in and the curriculum is meant to dumb down kids so they can not even read a book nor comprehend its meaning. Why is that the case? Because the teachers give the answers to every single question to the students, and they read to them like we are kindergartners. I hated this and it is what caused me to give up trying to learn. Which looking back was also dumb as I should have just "sucked it up" and put down the teachers answers on the packets and acted like I was paying attention to them reading or just sleep like the rest of the students. The school is also rampant with drugs and the school police there do nothing about it. Instead they yell into the bathrooms "put away your drugs I am coming in" just so they don't have to deal with the paperwork. The school board spends money and approves things that the school district does not need, and raises taxes to the max they can every single year and then complains there is no money due to them spending it all. They are also rude, snobby individuals who tell parents that they don't matter and that their kids are also there own...not factual at all. Especially this current sitting school board for the year 2025. They are a concoction of lies and deceit. If you want your child to become something in life, have drive, have motivation, have discipline, and be taught core lessons on math, science, English, and history...go elsewhere. If you want your family line to be something - spend that money you would have spent on yourself on your kids education so they won't have to suffer like everybody else's children do. This school is not a good place, is not a safe place, encourages drug use...which one of the school board members encourages drug use...and will not yield any benefit to your child. I know I have not yielded any benefit, and any learning I have had in the past 4 years within high school has come from my own volition, my own curiosities, my own interests and hardships. I truly wish I had an opportunity greater than this, don't let your kid be in my shoes. Please do not put them in this school district. High Schooler starting year 2021 ending year 2025.

I am a previous student of Oaks (2008-2013) and I still remember my amazing time there. Every teacher I had was incredibly kind and fair as well as incorporative of new technology and tools (we were there for the installation of the first Smartboards which transitioned teachers from using projectors, I'm sure they used an updated version of these now). I remember having class time that incorporated a perfect mix of learning as well as some kind of open creativity time, not just in special classes (art, music, library, etc). There were tons of events as well: Walk-a-thon, Dance-a-thon, Talent Show, end of year fair, the Halloween Parade, Concerts, Instrument learning opportunities as well as concerts, Career Day, Fire Station visit, and those are just the ones off the top of my head! The playgrounds and recess area was amazing! I made many friends in classes and at recess- some I still have today. My Oaks experience was the best! I would recommend it to anyone living in the area.
