I agree with the other parent's review that said Oakhurst Elementary School is a terrible place for special needs students and the principal, Mrs. Kennedy, is horrible. Oakhurst refused to provide my child with autism services even though there was a clearly written IEP. Mrs. Kennedy did not care or do anything about it when I insisted they implement the services. Mrs. Kennedy also does nothing when there are reports of bullying. Over half my child's class complained of bullying but when we tried to talk to her, she lost her temper, yelled, and threatened. She's the epitome of how a bad principal can ruin a school. A lot of us are leaving Oakhurst for safer schools that follow the law.

This Might be one of the worst school i went to in Pinellas county

The principal, Dr Ovalle, is a great leader and has turned this school around! My child is in the leadership academy and advanced classes; no issues with bullying or the usual middle school shenanigans we were worried about when sending a kid into 6th grade. Dr Ovalle is strict with the kids when needed but also tries to make things fun, and really focuses on parental engagement.
