Blue Oak Elementary School

We love this school. We are actually residents of the Rescue school district and Rescue elementary school but have chosen to transfer to Blue Oak for it's amazing teachers, principal and staff. The parents are involved in all areas of their children's education and the PTA does an amazing job of raising funds, providing school resources, organizing events and planning assemblies. We are part of Blue Oak's Charter Montessori program which is even a great incentive for us to be there. We have one child in preschool, one in the kindergarten program and one in the 1st/2nd grade combo Montessori class. We are extremely happy with our experience at Blue Oak.

Blue Oak is a great school! We are so proud to be a Blue Oak family! We've been at Blue Oak for 4 years, and will soon have a 2nd child starting at Blue Oak. The teachers are fantastic. I haven't met one that I haven't liked yet! The parents are very involved. The principal is very visible, and so kind. She is very approachable. I haven't had any big problems that I needed her help on yet, but if I ever do I will be comfortable going to her. The vice principal also! I'm so sad about the budget cuts, but I know that Blue Oak will find a way to over come this challenge.

A good school but facing major funding cuts threatening arts and humanities. Pros: Very good teachers, especially kindergarten; decent neighborhood, pleasant campus. Cons: Misspelled words seen in the Montessori classroom and the sign in front of the school (unacceptable); extended day program needs improvement; the Principal not as visible as at other top-notch schools; parents need to get more involved. Solid 'C.'

What wonderful teachers, excellent principal, good communication, they listen to suggestions and make changes appropriately. Their Lunch with Teachers program to recognize core values is very rewarding. They keep up with technology, allow children to use technology safely, and keep the grounds clean and well maintained. My kids and I are very happy.

I love Blue Oak School because there is always open communication between the teachers and the parents. I believe that Blue Oak provides a very positive , safe and rewarding environment for my child. Both of my children are excited to come to school each and every day. They both have great friends and excellent teachers.

I have had three daughters attend this school and it has been a very successful. The Principal, Assistant Principal, and support staff have all been dedicated to academics and the personal well being of students in general. The success is also due to classroom environments that adapt to each child's level of studies whether it is standard, advanced, or challenged learning. Blue Oak has an extrememly productive reading program and students are taught public speaking at a very young age. My children are confident and respectful. I am very thankful. ~Heather Gendreau

We have a wonderful charter Montessori program for k-3 grades as well as traditional standard classrooms which I feel provides great options for students.

Although I live in Oregon, I have visited Blue Oak on numerous occasions over the years.I have been able on several visits to help out in the classroom of a few of the Blue Oak teachers. Blue Oak and its staff are very deserving of this award. It is an honor to be asked to place my vote for Blue Oak Elementary School. the classroom of several teachers.. Blue Oak has a wonderful staff and
