I would not recommend MLK my son was there from 2-5 grade during his time at MLK he was in constant fights I’m sure he had a part in some of them other times not so much one day he reported that two other boys were calling him some unsavory names like a female dog or a female reproductive system. When he reported it the teacher said sticks and stones which my son didn’t even understand and didn’t even address the other boys later that day my son was using the restroom and was attacked by the two boys Also, it took almost 2 years to get him an IEP evaluation after constant requests to faculty and eventually to the principal and then eventually to the school district the one thing that was great about MLK was that after school program They took great care of the kids fed them. Made sure they did their homework got all of their extra energy out so when it was time to come home, they were ready to Eat have a little fun and lay down Also my son told me that the school lunches were not bad most days. Now that he’s in 6th grade at a new school so far not 1 fight not 1 yelling match he’s made so much progress in the short time he’s been there I am so thankful.

Both my sons attended Tech, and have enjoyed it. My oldest son is now getting ready to transfer to UC next fall and my younger son is currently a junior and enrolled in AP classes that are as challenging as any college class I’ve seen. I feel the curriculum has prepared both boys well for college. They’ve experienced no bullying, and have made great friends here and they’ve generally liked their teachers. Overall we’ve been happy with our kids attending Oakland Tech!

Very disappointed and shocked. Sad to see what is allowed for these scholars.
