Boulder Oaks Elementary School

As an educator and a parent, I have nothing but rave reviews for Boulder Oaks. The school provides a well-balanced curriculum for all students. Teachers and staff encourage students to take on leadership roles and try new experiences. Children are held to the highest standard both academically and socially. Boulder Oaks is committed to producing students who are ready for a future of success.

I have had 5 students attend this school. I have nothing but rave reviews for this school, the principal, the teachers, the staff and parent volunteers. Mrs. Miller has helped my daughter for a very trying time when she was being harassed by other students. She is very caring and compassionate. Great things have happened at Boulder since she came on as principal and my husband and I feel very fortunate that our students have been there to take part in the positive changes at Boulder. Parents transfer from other schools in the district to be at that school. We are very fortunate to have had our students receive an excellent education at Boulder Oaks!!! The PTA works hard and volunteers many hours. Many of the teachers work beyond their hours to help students succeed. I caution you to read between the lines when you read negative comments about this school.

I've had two sons attend Boulder Oaks Elementary School, one of which is in 5th grade and will be moving on to Middle School. While very exciting for him, I am sad that we will no longer be part of such a great school! All of the teachers have been professional, kind and caring and helped my children to excel academically. Mrs. Miller is welcoming and friendly and always has her door open for questions and concers. My family will truly miss everybody at Boulder Oaks.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Boulder Oaks! Every year, I am impressed with the dedication of my children's teachers and how much fun they have in school learning. I have had the opportunity to work with Mrs. Miller through PTA. She is very involved with the school, cares about the students and their safety, and takes pride in the job that she does at BOES. I am proud of the school that my children attend and I wouldn't have them go anywhere else!

This is a good school Two of may dougthers go to this school but they dont have any resources for kids that are slow learners.. they dont care about the kids that need extra help to learn. the only thing that they said it's beacuse the cuts.. But this kids need help after or before school... like other's schools. the principal and the PTA only focuse on the technology not to help those kids... in this city is to many rich people but aswell to many people with low income..

The school, although small and quaint, has a very pompous attitude; lacking humanistic connection in key leadership positions. It 's very common to get degraded by key leadership people, who in my view, see parents not as part of the team, but rather exclude parents from taking part in the process, and their child's education. I think a great school also includes parents and working with the parents to help create an overall community environment, by which, all feel a part---This school lacks this very important quality. If you are a parent who just wants to drop your kid off with no hands on---it's for you. If you like to be a part of your child's education and feel connected in an influential manner with that process---good luck--- I hope you get the AWESOME FEW TEACHERS THAT ARE KEEPING this school above water. My son has witnessed students getting degraded and completely yelled at by staff. This school needs accountability to the community.

Teachers and staff are good, but the peer group at this school is disturbing. The bullying is one major issue, but we were also concerned with the over-concentration of kids who are very materially-focused and 'cliquish'. The campus and student body, therefore, has the feeling of a middle school or high school rather than an elementary school. We had one child at BOES, but transferred our other two to a neighboring school where we felt the peer group was more 'developmentally appropriate' for elementary aged kids. Overall, I was very unimpressed by this school from a social standpoint.

BOES is an outstanding school with great acaemics.(Alhough, everyting is standards based instruction) I must agree that BOES has a huge bullying problem. I've had to intervene several times on my sons behalf when the school did nothing. They need to step up and enforce their 'peace builders' motto.

Being at Boulder Oaks was some what confussing. The teachers were great with the kids. Some of the kids were just BULLYS (physically and verbally). They don't have enough people at the playground to supervise these special kids.
