As a recent graduate here is my honest option of this school. Save your money for college, go elsewhere. I regret every day I went to Oakwood. School is too small. Staff are constantly complaining openly about it being a toxic environment. Teacher and administrator bullying of students. Significant

Posted by a parent on 10/10/2024I do not recommend this school at all. My daughter was subjected to very aggressive bullying, and due to the lack of safety and follow-up from the school, despite repeated attempts at communication, I had to remove her from there. I am very disappointed and truly believe there is discrimination at t

Posted by a parent on 11/21/2022Oakwoood Friends School has been the best choice for our son. The staff, combined with the environment has allowed him to grow into an amazing young man. Full of confidence and self-worth. The campus is a place of serene beauty that is a gift to be a student learning on.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter is graduating next month. She’s behind in just about every subject besides ELA. The math teacher has no degree, and no knowledge of the subject. The science teacher is using chat gpt to make lessons and has accidentally left the prompts up on his assignments. Bullying is a real issue, and when my child brought it up to the principal, she was told that there must be an underlying issue with her and she’s only saying it to get attention. We’ve had to get her therapy to deal with her anxieties based around the school. If she wasn’t three weeks from graduation, we would remove her immediately.Parent Review2mo ago - Poughkeepsie Seventh-Day Adventist Elementary School
