My student attended both general education and the gifted program in this school for a year and a half. The teachers and administration were engaged, supportive and responsive.Some of the students (probably only around 10%) have difficult home lives, are disruptive, contentious and difficult to soci

Posted by a parent on 6/2/2015I hate to rain on anyone's parade, but really think about what you want for your child before sending them here. I have found my kid, now in grade 5 Spanish Immersion Gifted, has no time for anything but homework after school since the beginning of 4th grade, although I am constantly told my child i

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur adopted granddaughter, who has ADHD, as well as separation anxiety issues when placed into our custody, excelled at this school. The teachers and staff were very supportive and assisted in giving her the best environment to grow. We were given every opportunity to party in her education and diverse activities. They helped us focus on her challenges and empower her interest. I could not be more satisfied with the performance of this school. We are confident that she will meet the challenges of middle school because Mildred Helms gave her a solid foundation to build on.Parent Review1y ago - Oakhurst Elementary School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI agree with the other parent's review that said Oakhurst Elementary School is a terrible place for special needs students and the principal, Mrs. Kennedy, is horrible. Oakhurst refused to provide my child with autism services even though there was a clearly written IEP. Mrs. Kennedy did not care or do anything about it when I insisted they implement the services. Mrs. Kennedy also does nothing when there are reports of bullying. Over half my child's class complained of bullying but when we tried to talk to her, she lost her temper, yelled, and threatened. She's the epitome of how a bad principal can ruin a school. A lot of us are leaving Oakhurst for safer schools that follow the law.Parent Review1y ago - Dropout Prevention School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf you don't fit their mold - Don't even bother. This "school" offers nothing more than a public school curriculum for a private school education. They hide behind the veil of private school to offer less resources than public schools provide. Additionally they can hire staff with less credentials, education or experience. They have increased tuition nearly 15% each year over the last three years and are investing it in only capital improvements and not investing it in the tools necessary to support their student body. The emphasis is on money, capital improvements and high school sport facilities. None of which truly enrich the life of your student and the education they receive. The only pro is the safety on campus. There are no mental health counselors on staff, for a K2-12 campus it is an extreme disservice to all students on campus. Bullying runs rampant in all facets of the campus. Additionally, teachers and directors refuse to share parent feedback to administration because it goes nowhere. Administration is choosing the wrong priorities and its heartbreaking to hear from other parents that they need to "keep their head down" to stay off radar until they can find other accommodations for their child(ren). There is a reason that families are leaving in droves.Parent Review5mo ago
