Haw Creek Elementary School

I can no longer recommend White Oak. Having sent four children here, the difference between the 'old' White Oak and the current state is night and day. Since the leadership change, the school has lost its community feel and replaced it with an overly rigid, 'prison-like' environment. My 5th grader is unhappy every day, and teacher turnover is noticeably high. Discipline feels inconsistent and biased. It’s disappointing to see a once-great school go downhill so quickly. It is telling that my second youngest child is now much happier at middle school than they ever were during their final years at White Oak. If I had another child, I would not send them here. I hope the administration listens to parent feedback and restores the community-centered spirit the school once had.

The school is simply great. They have good progress in academic.

We moved to Forsyth because many people think they have a better schools than other countiesThis is our first year with this school and after two weeks in this school, many problems started. First, the school though our daughter was a mentally handicap so they decided to put her in several separate classroom with out letting us know about it. Many emails then meeting but they never explained how did they made that decision. Their facilitator was on and on about this obligation and that obligation, but never once said that she has had no obligated to take her job or leave her job.Then IEP, our daughter received a special need because SSD due to her birth. This speech language pathology was born and raised in Forsyth, just graduated with no experienced and has this job with her county. She was assigned to work with our daughter. She had never communicated with us regarding what so ever about our daughter. Turn out, her case manager and the facilitator have to handle the talk. (may be this pathology is too young to speak).Not only that, in the past 6 months, she teach our daughter about idioms only. We contacted her case manager and the case manger told us that what their team decided for our daughter to learn until the end of school year. Idioms is nice to learn, but that is not a academic or standard form. We can buy a idioms book or download it online for our daughter to practices why do we need a Pathology to teach.Maybe, this Pathology is inventing her own idioms that no one has ever known to teach kids. This school is running with a lot of negative people.Any one want to know about Forsyth County, just email us to find out the true before buy a very expensive house to live. You can rent a house for first year and try out their school before stuck in the situation like us (400k).FYI: a lots of farms and cows are here in Forsyth.
