This school is terrible. West Ada runs the schools like prisons. Parents are shut out and teachers have terrible attitudes. I have empathy for the staff as the wages are low but that does not excuse their horrible job performance and lack of responsibility. Unsafe conditions, poor quality education, horrible staff attitudes towards parents and students make up a joke of a school.

If you want to support bullying by students AND teachers then this is a great place. Not only do the administrators not do ANYTHING about racism, harassment, etc., they seem to support it by never punishing the students causing problems. Most of the teachers are good/great, but a select few make your life a living nightmare. The vice principals in specific seem to favor certain kids over others and make that clear. You stood up for your friend getting called a slur? Lunch detention. Somebody is threatening you? Sounds like your problem. Overall, good academics, terrible people. Except some great teachers.

First of all, both of my kids never had any issues with going to the bathroom or using water fountain and both of them drink and use bathroom a lot :) We have moved to this school from MD where my daughter was at the top of her class in reading and math. When we got here we realized that there are a lot of kids who actually love reading and math/sciences and my daughter noticed she was not the top performer...which was great as she wanted to move up in class and be on the same levels as her new friends. I will add that I heard the same feedback from people who moved from Illinois and California. This school recognizes that kids are at different levels and caters education to various learning levels. It can be challenging even for bright kids. So far we loved all of our teachers. The only concern we have is class size at 4th and 5th grade levels as it's over 30 kids. Parents also get very involved and volunteer a lot. The school through Ada district offers access to online programs for children to enhance there learning at home if desired.

Our family LOVES this school! Both my kids attend and we have been part of the Seven Oaksfamily for the last three years. The teachers, staff, and family's support is top-notch. We feel fortunate to be part of this community.
