Serrano Elementary School

Oakridge is a gem in the community. It’s a traditional curriculum founded in conservative Christian values. After three years of my child being on campus, I am confident that my child is loved, safe, and being educated by great teachers. The principal, Mr. Stefan Joly, greets the students daily at the gate, giving high fives and smiles. He genuinely cares for every student. The teachers communicate as needed and support us as families. As always, there is always that one parent who disrupts the status quo and is a bit crazy. The school is quick to dismiss and yet, you get the random bad review. Mr. Joly is nothing but supportive to all students and expects equity among all aspects of the school. I am so happy with my choice in schools. Look no further for an outstanding community school with high academic achievement and a well rounded program.

St. Paul's Lutheran School is a place where your child can grow and excel in both academics and sports. They have an amazing group of teachers who work very closely with their students. A number of the teachers actually went to St. Paul's when they were younger and have now returned to teach. The class sizes are also an advantage as the average size is around 20 to 22 students. The "small school" environment is very nice as everyone knows everyone, and it has a "family" feel to it. The school is always looking at ways to improve their academics, sports programs, and school facilities/grounds by having several fundraisers during the year. I would highly recommend St. Paul's Lutheran School if you would like your child to flourish in an environment where the teachers and staff go above and beyond to ensure their students excel.
