Read what parents are saying about Oak Meadows Elementary SchoolThe current principal Ms. Rincon is not very welcoming to the parents, staff, or students. She is always yelling at the kids in the morning and is yelling at teachers to get to their assigned posts. All teachers look worn out there and look like they don't care anymore. This school is a lot better when Mrs. Brown and Mr. Gongora were around. The Asst. Principal is very present , friendly, and you can tell staff rather talk to her then the principal. Hopeful this school turns around next year, I feel so bad for the teachers and staff under this principal.
Posted by a parent on 1/30/2017The current principal is very stand offish. The teachers look demoralized and it looks as though it has carried over to even the students. The admin has not been helpful or communicative with parents and they have been very little done to help sped and bilingual students at this campus. If you have a choice enroll at another campus in the area until the current admin under Rincon is gone, then possibly things might begin to get better for this campus.
Posted by a teacher on 10/12/2016Oak Meadows could use some improvements when it comes to certain areas. The diversity in this school is horrible. There are about 95% hispanics, 4% black and 1% white. They are not very good at keeping you informed on events happening at the school. My child attends the afterschool program, if you need to get in contact with the staff to check on your child you can forget it. They do not answer the phones. The individual that signs you out after picking up your child does not speak very good english and can barely pronounce my childs name. I do however like the friendliness of the staff in the office. Most of the teachers seem friendly and carrying.
Posted by a parent on 4/7/2014I love this school. Both of my children, my nephew, and cousin have gone there. The pre-k teachers are amazing, especially Mrs. Perisho and Ms. Craig. They are so patient with the kids. The principal, Mr. Gongoria is just as awesome. He knows all of the kids. He's actually active at the school. He's first in line and dressed up for the book parade. He makes sure to speak to parents every time he walks by. He's constantly high-fiving and encouraging kids. Oak Meadows is a great school!
Posted by a parent on 3/23/2014I absolutely LOVE, LOVE this school! From the minute you walk in to the campus, the office staff are friendly and welcoming! The prinicipal is quick to return emails, phone calls and/or meet with you! Not only that but our prinicpal knows probably about 90% of all the students names!!! Their afterschool program is amazing! The school is completely child friendly and welcoming. This is school is AMAZING! Every thing they do revolves around the idea of each student succeeding, both academically, culturally, emotionally, and physically. From the gardens, to the different clubs, to UIL, to the science fair, girl's scouts, you name it, there are endless opportunities for our kids to get involved. Parental participation is not only welcomed but it is encouraged. Kids are constantly praised and rewarded for their hard work. Bullying (of course happens in any environment) but at OME the entire staff is on board with their anti-bullying policy. You can't go wrong with this school!!!

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI recently visited this school. They have painted and cleaned. It looks like people care. The office staff was so nice. The principal and assistant principal are brand new and I can see there will be a positive change at the campus.Other Review7y ago - Jordan Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDO NOT WORK HERE! I just recently resigned two weeks ago. The school leader and administration constantly creates chaos and miscommunication in the school by consistently communicating different messages to different people. The school leader is biased and openly favors some employees over others on the team. She uses her job title to dominate and intimidate others. Assistant Principles of Instruction (API) never know exactly whats going on, they give out wrong information and never take ownership of it. Most of the API's are incompetent and lack people skills. They call you in the office about petty unprofessional things, such as who you hang out with at work. School leader constantly uses vulgar language in front of children and staff in PD's and private meetings in her office and actually encourages employees to use this vulgar language as well in front of her. You are threatened to get written up about almost everything. If you complain about the work load( which is very intense) they will call you in the office to intimidate you about making "negative comments". We had 43 new employees this year, because so many people last year quit. This year people quit during trainings before school even started. They have substitutes teaching most of the kids because they treat their employees so horribly they keep quitting. Do not send your child to school here, they only care about data and test scores. Do not work here, they do not care about your well being as an employee.Teacher Review1y ago - KIPP Paseo Pri
