East Garner Middle

I was briefly a kindergarten teacher at the school. I was very impressed with the overall behavior of the students. The kindergarten class I had was awesome. My parents held their child accountable for their actions. They gave no excuses and fixed the behavior. I was always supported by my parents. I wish all parents were as supportive as these parents.

The teachers, administrators, and staff are amazing. My child is happy and loves going to school! We love Vandora!

Both of my children have enjoyed their time at Timber! Some of our favorite things about being a Timberwolf are school pride, family involvement, and especially the fun traditions they carry on each year - Teddy Bear parade, Howlabration, Dancefest, Specialist Night, just to name a few. #UniteThePack #HearUsHowl #OnceATimberwolfAlwaysATimberwolf

my son is in 1st grade and teachers are really good

My daughter has been attending this school since kindergarten & now she’s in 4th. I’ve never had a problem with the school nor teachers. The communication with parents/teachers/staff has always been something I liked. They send out communications through the class dojo or flyers about school events. The 2019-2020 was hard for everyone which was understandable because of COVID-19 & online learning was hard. Luckily my daughter’s teachers (Mr. Cox, Mrs. Pace & Mrs. Caudil) all were very helpful & went beyond to make sure she didn’t fall short. She got a 3 in her math EOG & a 4 in her reading EOG. She’s been in 4th grade for a little over a month now & I am still very happy with the communication from her teachers (Mr. Rhodes & Mrs. Finney). My daughter once had a bullying issue in 2nd grade where an older student told her an indecent comment during carpool. The school notified me & contacted the boy’s mom & my daughter said the next day they had put more teachers in the carpool area to make sure he didn’t bother her. I also like how the school communications are sent out both in English & Spanish so it makes it very helpful to a lot of the Hispanic students & their parents, even teachers know some Spanish.

The school is not what it used to be. there has been a lot of changes that make it a better place for my children in upper grades compared to when they started four years ago.

Oak City has been a second home for my children and an extension of our family for the past 7 years. Each teacher and staff member is incredible and committed to leading children to Jesus while the whole child grows and develops into who God has made them to be. Incredible education proven by well above grade level test results. This is a place where children thrive and love to learn!
