The principals at the high school do not do much about bullying, harrassement and stalking. Seems that it is more of a slap to the wrist and told to stop. When a parent calls to get updates on how a situation is being handled they are spoken to loudly and with attitude. While some of the teachers an
Posted by a parent on 7/22/2025I had an incredible experience at Big Spring (Elementary through High School) and wouldn’t have traded my time there for anything or anywhere else.

Posted by a student on 6/19/2018If they would actually do something about bullying, then the school would be better. Teachers usually just sit around and let/watch it happen.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe are Bull Dog Proud. Oak Flat is a wonderful school, they go above and beyond for their students, especially the PTO. The teachers are very hands on and approachable. I'm in contact with my son's teachers and they always listen and work with me and my children. My kids look forward to going to school everyday. I'm greatful they have such a caring team teaching them and helping them to grow. If you can volunteer anytime with the PTO or in the classroom, you will see what I'm talking about.Parent Review4y ago - Newville Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAll of my children attended this elementary school and I never had a problem. Every staff member I spoke to was pleasant. My children enjoyed going to school and enjoyed their teachers and principals. The teachers were great with communication to the parents about their children and their needs or accomplishments. The learning support staff were just as excited as my children to tell me that they were hitting their goals and exceeding. The staff even interacted with the children when they seen them out in about in the community, whether it was a game or a grocery store trip. Great hometown feel.Parent Review9mo ago - Mount Rock Elementary School
