Oliver Mccracken Middle School

I could not imagine having a better experience for kindergarten for our child. The teachers and staff are all excellent. We are forever grateful for our experience here!

I'm so impressed with this school. As an educator of over 20 years and as a parent of children who have attended dist65 and private school, this is by far the best school I've ever seen. It beats any school I have been to, worked at, or have sent my children. The principal runs a tight ship and knows how to run a school in which staff and children are equally content. It's rigorous but also tends to SEL curriculum. Teacher communication has been excellent. The principal and office staff know every single kids name in the entire school. They can even pronounce my kids' difficulty last name. We are on our second year at EPS and are grateful. They have an array of acceleration programs and intervention to keep my advanced student happy and my struggling learner on track. I'm not sure why this isn't a 10/10 school because I can't see a single thing they could improve. Plus, the kids don't have to switch building every few years and loose out on valuable learners to transition. Pre-K to 2nd is on one floor, 3rd-5th on another, and middle school is on the third floor. I also feel like my kids are in a safe building as it was constructed recently and it's difficult for anyone to enter. The diversity is fantastic as well. Class sizes are reasonable (22 students with multiple staff in each room so far). I highly recommend this school to everybody.

worst school ever this place is ruthless. I go to this horrible school and all of the grades are bullies and teachers don’t help enough. Here all kids are racist homophobic, and they disrespect all religions and they are disrespectful and bratty. They are unwelcoming. fights, arguments, drama happens often gossip rumors, and back talking all day long. all types of slurs being passed around such as the N-word nd the f slur and any words to do with World War II This place made me feel miserable. I do not recommend the school at all if you were planning to go to school do not try to go to a different school.

My family has loved our experience at this school. The teachers and staff are exceptional!

Both of my kids, ages 3 and 5, are enrolled at this school. It has been a wonderful experience for both and they are developing skills well beyond what I could have expected for their age. I can see already how strong of a base they will have going into their elementary programs and I couldn't have asked for a better experience for them. Student to teacher ratio is outstanding and all the kids know each other and are excited to meet each day. Can't say enough about their wonderful program
