Oakland Terrace Elementary School

My boys (K and second grade) love this school. They are eager to share with me what they learn when they get home. Teachers communicate with me regularly and send home optional homework. The PTA is very active and there are extracurricular activities after school and through Kids After Hours.

We love the school! Our son loves the school.. It's in a great neighborhood!

Es una Escuela que ayudan a sus estudiantes a ser los mejores y a desempeñar cualquier obstáculo que se presente , son muy amables los maestros y todo el l personal que Dios bendiga grandemente a Arcola Elementary

We were strung along for a whole month just for them to come back and tell us they couldn’t accept my child because they think he needed “one on one attention”, he is 7 and there are only 3 kids in his class so I don’t see how in the 6 hours school day can they not afford to give one-on-one time for each child? They made it sound like it’s a safe haven for all kids and they “don’t label kids” but embrace them, my child has some ADHD and I was forthcoming about that, yet they told me they know how to handle that and let the kids be themselves, we kept waiting for a month when it was already mid-year (due to our move) and my child was home the entire time, they made it sound like it was a done deal until they came back to us with a rejection, I also asked them if I can enroll my 3 year old there and they (the principal Ann) promised to email me the needed info for that but didn’t do it, in my eyes that’s lack of integrity and professionalism. I gave three stars for teaching just because teacher Eric sounded like a fully engaged and caring person, unfortunately we never got the chance to try his skills.
