My two children have been through Oak Crest and we could not be happier with our experience there. The principal, counselors and teachers have been just terrific. When we have had issues, the staff has been incredibly responsive and they have provided an excellent, safe environment for learning and social development for our kids. They both loved their time spent at OC.

Horribly disappointed in this school. I am pulling my son out at the end of the semester. He is a child that thrives in school and since we moved here, he dreads going. The teachers are unimpressive, the campus is run down and the student body seems to be mostly made up of skater kids. The social aspect of school seems to be off. Lots of kids but no fun. I have talked to many students here and not one is happy. How this school received a rating of 9 is beyond me. Not at al an inspiring school!

This school is something to be desired, it's not due to the teachers, just the whole feel. Coming from the small school district of Cardiff this was a shock. I put my two oldest kids through this school and regret it every day. Unless your kid is a skater they probably won't fit in, or they will not be the same student when they leave this school, & not in a positive way.

My son attended this school and is now a Freshman at LCC. Oakcrest was wonderful - the teachers were responsive, provided extra assistance at lunch and after school, and genuinely cared about the students. The school offers many extracurricular programs. The principal and vice principal were visible on campus. Despite nearly 1,000 students, this campus is safe and I never felt my child was lost in the numbers. My son was well prepared for high school!

Oak Crest Middle School has come a long way! I attended Oak Crest 1981-1983. I didn't have a very positive experience while I was there, but I must say that my son is having a wonderful time and doing very well! Every time I have had a concern and have e-mailed a teacher, they have responded within 24 hours, most the same day. My son loves all of his teachers. The counselors, principal and asst. principal are wonderful. I am so happy with this school!

The Honors English and Honors Math teachers are superb! I was worried about my daughter going to a public middle school, but have been very pleased with the communication, safety, counselors, and teachers.

I am really impress with the staff and how the school stresses the students to be accountable. I know my son will enjoy his years at Oak Crest. The staff seems to care about the students and enjoy their jobs.

I know that my son will enjoy his middle school years since I can see the difference that oak crest middle school has especially the fact that this school has a very pro-active principal and assistant principal. The school teachers are great and the parent-teachers association bind their force all together to help make this school an outstanding venue of learning.

Communication with parents is sub-standard. What little response we obtained from our numerous requests was less than 50% accurate. Some responses were 100% inaccurate. How can parents expect to help our children with information like this? It seems the faculty has more important things to do with their time than to communicate effectively, accurately, or even just to help their students succeed. The mathematics department is especially lack-luster in their student/parent communication skills.
