7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOC is a great middle school. Both of my kids went through, son (2027) and daughter (2029). We are a Cardiff family and some local kids went to Earl Warren only to bail out and go to Oak Crest. The admin and staff are super. This is a great middle school and serves our local Encinitas community well. Thank you for the great times.Parent Review10mo ago - La Costa Canyon High School
