Oakview Elementary School

I had 3 children attend this school.Our oldest has high functioning Autism. The administration refused to follow our son's IEP. Insisted on using their own "systems". We filed numerous complaints. The administration's only concern is test scores and raising money. They do what they can to push out students with disabilities while hiding behind standard programs to fulfill the special need requirement. The teachers did what they could but are restrained by administation.Our other 2 faired ok. They were bullied for not having brand name clothes & cell phones. If you have bright kids & wealth, or athletes this school is for you.

Have not had to work with very many support staff but we've had two excellent teachers thus far who care about our children. Also, I had one item worth discussing with the principal and he called me promptly and we had a valuable and honest discussion.Also, there's an American flag in the classroom and they sing the Pledge of Allegiance every morning which seems simple enough, but is noteworthy in this world gone mad.

The principal has disgusting behaviors and policies. The front office staff when asked questions like why are they detaining kids in the office 5 minutes prior to the bell to write tardy slips instead of letting them go to class cannot answer. The ladies in the front make fun of elementary kids for not knowing their parents phone numbers off the top of their head like my daughter wasn’t in 2nd grade and they don’t have the info. They jerk parents around for meetings to discuss this info just for an hour later to tell you it’s cancelled. The school ratings are due to the AREA of the school not the school in general. Worst teachers and technology in this area to be honest. There are other elementary options both public and private that the majority have opted for after trying this location.

A wonderful school, but lacking in support for children with learning and/or physical disabilities. I tried for a full year to get my son the necessary help for speech delay. That’s a full year too long. Teachers are very honest in admitting that the school pretty much pushes kids along as long as they are decently capable. It’s sad.

Love Oakview. More like a private school than a public school, but without the snootiness. Test score wise they are in the top 20 out of 600 elementaries in the entire state. But even better, you walk the halls and you can just tell how much they love the kids. My daughter is excelling here making straight As, while my son, who struggles, went from below grade level to above in a single year, which we credit the wonderful special Ed teachers with and his teacher who just loved him and fought for him. Lots of great memories here.
