Oakdale elementary has been my kids school for 3 yrs now and I can say I underestimated this school based on previous years reviews. The principal and staff are very pleasant and friendly. They have provided my children with the help and support they’ve needed along the way. I know my child had some difficulties catching up to grade level expectations but his teachers have been helping him every way they can. If only 15 mins of one on one extra time daily has made a difference. I’m truly happy they care that much. As a mother it makes me feel better he’s getting the attention he needs academically. The schools has multiple school functions that my kids are always excited to attend when we can. Multiple activities like school concerts and book fairs in the year. The parents can be actively involved with volunteering in field trips and classroom events. I’m surprised but pleased that so far my kid has 4 field trips this school year because it makes them look forward to attending museums, theatre plays, visitation at J.C Smith University and even go bowling. I would also like to include that the school does provide weekly to daily updates of school events as well as classroom activities through Parent Square which only parents have access to; so scheduling conferences or messaging my kids teachers about any questions have been super easy and efficient. I do think Dr. Powell has been doing a great job in the advances of this school.

I checked my son's grades in his silence class and he got a 56 so I check his power school and he had everything completed and all 100s or 80s so I'm confused. This school is very bad this school is a last resort don't let your kids come here.

I was a little nervous at first to send my daughter, however she is currently going into her junior year and it has been a great experience. She is in the I.B. Program. The teachers are excellent and the school provides tons of resources and opportunities for the students. All they have to do is take advantage of what’s available. The schools score definitely doesn’t reflect the reality of what’s occurring within the building of West Charlotte. We love the school pride and encourage she constantly receives. I am assured she will be prepared for college and beyond after her experience at this school.
