Century Oaks Elementary School

My experience with this school is terrible. The princicpal is not very understanding and has no compassionate to help students instead, he focuses on the school system and the troublemakers. the way the principal operate the school is extremely poor.

My language delayed daughter has been EXCELLING after only 2 months here. She comes home happy, and is very excited to go in the mornings. She loves loves loves her teachers, and has really socially blossomed. They offer the coolest programs and activities. I cannot believe this is a public school. We are so lucky and blessed for our child to attend this school. They mix together the 3 and 4 year olds, which at first I thought was strange, but the 4 year olds are role models for the 3 year olds, sharing all they learned the previous year with the new little ones.

The gifted program is geared towards “model” students and has no accommodations at the school or district level for kids with ADHD, etc. The 6th grade gifted teacher failed to communicate assignment/syllabus to students or parents, did not follow my child’s IEP, and chose not to notify us when our child was speaking about self-harm in class.Getting my child out of there has greatly improved their emotional health, safety, and academic achievement.

I went to this school from 7th-10th grade. As an adult who is now a science major, I have had to work a lot harder due a substantial gap in my science education at this school. If you want your kid to have a solid science and math foundation, do not send them to this school.

The school does not care about your mental health and does not understand your situation, even if they are a nurse. I was asked to leave because of my unwanted mental health issues.I was asked to leave the school because I was a safety hazard. I dealt with severe depression and was told to express my feelings to the nurse. I was allowed to talk freely about my problems and unwanted thoughts; that is until I expressed an unwanted thought, that was not going to be acted upon towards friends in my class. I was then told to leave the school due to my behavior. I am still emotionally scared and have to try to learn to trust others, thanks.

I have 2 kids currently enrolled at St. Thomas More Catholic School. We have been with them for 6 years now and I could not be more proud and happy. I observed the biggest change in my son’s values esp in praying at second grade but for sure, it all started when he was in preschool. Over time, it developed and blossomed into a special kind of relationship with God at such a young age. Kudos to their amazing and hands-on faculty and staff. We are really thankful for having found STM.
