School of Success

Firstly, Oak View is a great school! On a scale between 1-10, I give it 7 1/2 stars. In regards to a recent post by another parent stating that this school cares only about test scores, hello....of course test scores are important and should be! The pros are that the school has a wonderful ethic and moral atmosphere, great parent involvement (which is the key to a child’s success) and staffed with some amazing people. Also, the school principle is friendly and approachable. The cons are that this school needs honors classes/ gate classes for student that need that challenge, because the standard class setting is not enough for their Academic gifted minds; they need academic challenges! There needs to be a meeting with the school board and Council on how honor classes can be implemented into Oak View.

i agree with the other review. the teachers are committed and the kids are mostly equal. the middle school is a good place to go before high school, as compared to other nearby middle schools, houston has a much more friendly and unbiased environment which has helped my child in high school. compared to children from other middle schools, most houston kids will be friendlier. although it always does depend on the child, at houston, you have a chance to have a few more safe years for the discrimination of high school sets in. and that, in the long run, will be a good thing.

My daughter is always excited about what she is learning in class. It's amazing to see how well she reads, writes and speaks both languages. Not only are the academics great at Joe Serna, so is the community. We are like a big family.
