Thomas Crossroads Elementary School

I'm writing this review as a parent who has had 2 children attend White Oak K-5th. This school is horrible. They treat the children worse than prisoners. They are never allowed to speak to one another, they get silent lunch for weeks as a GRADE not just the individual students causing issues, they are constantly being told by administrators and teachers that they are "the worst", "awful", "disrespectful", and the latest from a 5th grade teacher "jerks" and "unkind people". Some, actually very few, teachers are fantastic but unfortunately they are quitting every year and their reason is always the administration. My children have perfect conduct grades and don't get in trouble. Yet they have always been punished and put down with the whole class or grade. What do you think that does to a child? Its horrible. If you're reading this in preparation to have your child attend White Oak, I beg you, please reconsider. Your child doesn't deserve the constant punishments and mean words for not doing anything but being present.

Summary, Principal does not foster leadership skills, support differences is a no, and school lacks hospitality, friendliness and basic mediocre private school. Need more Black teachers, need to work in making Black children and their relatives feel welcome, better trained educators, and school lacks challenging students academically.

Avid this school if possible. BTW, the new name of this school is Central Christian.
