Oak Hill Elementary School

This school class size is just way too big. My 8 year old (third grade) is in a class of 36 students. I have noticed her math skills regressing and the amount of homework is just way too much. The teacher has to keep moving on even when the kids are suffering or need more time. Overall this is a great school but the teachers are overworked and under paid and it is beginning to show. I think once the class sizes go down this school will return to be an excellent school.

Totally agree with the previous comment. She (kindergarten pm teacher) is mean and abusive. She does not have any respect to parents. And seriously, I sometimes doubt her emotional health. It's time for her to retire, I guess. Why she keeps working? She likes power and control over little ones. It's not good for kids to be around this kind of person.

I think PM Kindergarten teacher is an abusive and angry person. My child is not happy being in her class.

My family came from a school district that was not tolerant at all about bullying and was extremely organized. I was never worried about my children whilele they attended schools in that district. This is supposed to be the best elementary school in this district, but I am not comfortable leaving my first grader on the blacktop before school with very little supervision and a bunch of older kids running around on the blacktop. It looks like complete caos...i had two sixth graders last year and they were constantly bullied by the same kids (not the normal kind of bullying) and the bullies would only get a small talking too...sometimes. I can't wait to move my family out of this school district. Teachers are excellent though, they need more support from the principal.

Oak Hill is an excellent school. My oldest is in the midst of her 5th grade year and been here since K. My middle child is in 2nd and next year I'll add another student here in K. I have nothing but positive things to say about the school. The teacher do an exemplary job meeting the children where they are at and they really strive to push their students to meet their potential. My oldest got a perfect 600 on the math portion of the STAR last year....that comes from her teacher doing an outstanding job! WTG Oak Hill Otter Staff! The positive parent involvement shows as well. Students don't strive this well without the combined effort of teachers and parents. Keep up the great work!

because it has a lot of parents that partisapate and good teachers. they do plays that other schools don't. I enjoy the atmosphere there. I am a grandparent of 2 that go to that school.

I love this school. The staff really cares about the students. The teachers are really good and creative. They have a great PTA and biggest parent volunteer I have ever seen. Every class still has 3 or more feild trips a year.

Oak Hill is a great school. The entire staff of the school is so involved and the parent involvment is amazing. It's so refreshing to see a school & it's parents truly care about childrens education. My daughter is excelling more then I could imagine. Her math, comprehension and vocabulary have improved tremulously. I am very pleased with this school and plan to continue my daughters education here. I look forward to her younger siblings starting at Oak Hill in the years to come. GO OTTERS!!!

As a parent of a child with special education needs, I found this school to be above and beyond my expectations. The principal was involved and supportive, the teachers were excellent! This is the first year that my son has shown a marked improvement in his test scores and achievements in special education. I contribute this directly the teachers & learning team at Oak Hill. I have thourally enjoyed working with them and look forward to my daughter starting kindergarden there next year.

The teachers at Oak Hill are excellent. My son completed 1st grade and can read at 70 words per minute. His teacher played the guitar and made learning fun for the students. He was required to do a project on power point on Pueblo homes, build a model, and present it to the class. The principal was very supportive when school issues had to be addressed. He listened and showed great concern and was also very professional.
