Five Oaks Academy

This school is nice sometimes but overall it is okay the school definitely deserves better teachers that respect students you will find about 2 good teachers in each grade. And the principal definitely needs to have better respect towards her students and teachers sometimes.

Please , please put your absentee form at the page that says forms . Some of us don’t go on FB and every time I need that form, either I can’t find it or it takes me 3or4 days to find it. I’m on my 4th day now. All of us are not tech savvy. But other than that this school is the best !!

The campus is absolutely gorgeous with its landscaping and there are a handful of great teachers here but without strong leadership, the school remains in the dark ages. We would not return or recommend it. They couldn't meet the needs of our child and hadn't established a healthy and positive environment in which education could take place. "Policies" if there were any at all other than dress code, were applied inconsistently. There's no independent board or council with clear cut separation of duties from the administration and no transparency for the budget. Our child was in Montessori in Germany and that classroom looked and operated very differently from this one. We discovered there are other Montessori schools in the area that have a more classic and professional approach. There's great potential at this school but it will require strong leadership to bring it back up to par. If science and math are important to you, look elsewhere. At the time our child was a student, there wasn't a single teacher on the campus who had a background in science or a related subject. The integrated Spanish language program was excellent and taught by a very kind and loving native speaker from Mexico. Our child adored her and came home singing songs in Spanish. More teachers who are subject experts with real world knowledge would make a world of difference.

My kids love the school. They are happy every day.
