Oaklands Elementary School

School environment is very safe and encouraging and engaging my kids and all their friends love to go to school each day. PTO is very involved and plan really fun activities throughout the year. School is very diverse and teachers are very patient and really care about the education and making school a pleasant environment. Mrs. Stahler the principal is very involved and you can tell she really cares about the school and all the kids.

I am extremely concerned about the leadership and overall direction of this school. There appears to be a significant disconnect between administration and the day-to-day realities affecting both students and staff. The current leadership has been in place since the school opened, yet meaningful progress and accountability remain noticeably absent.It is deeply troubling that student performance challenges are consistently attributed solely to parents, with little acknowledgment of the school’s own standards, instructional quality, or leadership responsibility. Effective leadership requires shared accountability, transparency, and a commitment to measurable improvement — all of which appear to be lacking.Messaging such as “Just show up” reflects a concerningly low expectation standard and does not align with the level of academic rigor and commitment our children deserve. Students should be encouraged to strive for excellence, not minimal participation.Additionally, there seems to be a misalignment of priorities. While community initiatives and fundraising efforts can be valuable, they should never overshadow the fundamental responsibility of providing a safe, accountable, and high-quality educational environment.At this time, the school’s trajectory feels unsustainable. Families entrust this institution with their children’s education and well-being, and that trust must be earned through competent leadership, clear standards, and demonstrated results. Significant change is necessary to restore confidence and create the environment our students deserve.

Siempre mi hijo dice que su maestra está enojada . Y yo he visto el carácter de algunos maestros con los niños y es muy diferente al que muestran cuando están enfrente de uno . Lo he visto yo misma

The school is extremely racist. When my daughter attended most of the staff was white and was so unqualified to teach children it was ridiculous. It seems as though they were employed strictly from the color of their skin. Many of them had drug issues, anger issues, mental issues, or just extreme flaws like being dishonest and disrespectful and all around extremely unprofessional and shouldn't be anywhere near children. They mistreat children with special needs and disorders and the principal did nothing about it. I went through absolute hell with my child there and I was elated when she finally left that place. Wouldn't recommend at all.
