Great Oaks Elementary School

I have 2 kids here. One in upper elementary and one in lower and we've been lucky enough to have had great teachers throughout. I've preferred some over others, but that would be anywhere! I also wanted to mention that the principal that is mentioned in some older reviews is no longer there. We had a new principal come in, in 2013/2014; also the office staff (that is mentioned below) has changed over as well :) The one improvement that I would really like to see is Technology-but that is across the entire district.

The worst for my ADHD child they didn’t follow his 504 plan at all my son spent everyday being bullied and tormented and punished for his outburst when kids were picking on him! My once excited about school child was no longer excited about school I literally saw the spark in his eye and excitement every morning fading, so needless to say I pulled him from that school as soon as I realized what was happening!

Overall I am happy with Naldrett Elementary School. I’ve only had an issue with one teacher (who, in my opinion, needs to retire from teaching). Other than that, we’ve had a great experience thus far. I feel my concerns have been addressed and that our family is a valued part of the school community.

My kids went to this school for 5th and 2nd grade, I have had a horrible experience so have my kids, the staff is undereducated, the principal is just a big bully, they don't welcome parent involvement at all, and my kids got bullied the principal did not want to talk about it or address the issue properly they like to tuck problems under the carpet. When one of my kids got a chair thrown at her by another student in 2nd grade the principal tried to down play the incident and said that my daughter was confused the child was probably just stalking the chair and it fell on her. Ridiculous! The teacher that my 2nd grader had would often bring her emotional home life into the classroom and share her emotions and thoughts with the students and even had a few outbursts where she cried infront of the students. One time since the same teacher had her mother teaching there as well she called her mother to come and yell at her students because she couldn't get control of them. My daughter was once told she can't wear a jacket at recess because it is not cold. I pulled my kids out of the school at the end of that year, and I would not recommend this school to anyone, unless you want to subject your child to constant bullies and threats from students, and discrimination from students and staff members.
