I have 3 children in OGES. We have had nothing but great things to say about the school and the staff. It's a clean, kid friendly learning environment. All of the teachers that we have had, as well as the supporting staff, have all been excellent. A++ school.

O.G.E. is the best school in the State. It amazes me how some of the other parents have said such negative things about Oak Grove. In my openion, you can easily go just miles down the road and experience get a lot worse teachers, plus drugs, gangs, and more crime than you would believe. Then, when you look back, you wont be so concerned about clicks, and small things such as that and you would be more concerned about the health and security of your child which at Oak Grove, I know I have nothing to worry about. I wouldnt go anywhere else.

I have had 2 kids go through school here and it is a joke as far as academic difficulty. The teachers do not prep the kids for the high school, which is worse than the elementary as far as teachers. I am surprised that the school graded out as a 5 out of 10. I would think it would be lower. I wish I had a mulligan for my kids to get a better education.

I can't believe this school got as many good reviews as it did! AMAZING! Here's the deal......if you didn't go to school here and graduate with all the teachers that now teach here, your child is done! Stick a fork in em! As far as athletics go, I would have to agree with the other parent who said they stink! If you don't go to church with the baseball, basketball and football coaches, if you don't socialize with the cheerleeding moms, and if your daughter doesn't participate in the beauty pagents, then you might as well be dead! Trust me....your better off anywhere else!!!

I have had two sons that excelled in OGES both were A- Honor roll every year. They are now at the High school and are in honors classes. I am a graduate of OG class of '90. I could not imagine my children any where else. Lots of support from faculty. Great place to have a child succeed. As long as a parent is involved a child excels to greatness....

Academically, the schools are at best, poor. Sports wise they stink!

I graduated from OGHS in 1996 and i loved the school then. Starting this next school year I will have two children attending OGES I couldn't imagine them going anywhere else. I love the way the whole school is involved with each and every child. You always know what is going on with your child and their classroom. I think this school is great. Sincerely, Jamie Kimbrell
