My daughter's teacher is wonderful. How ever I would not recommend it to children that don't speak Spanish. My daughter doesn't speak Spanish and spends most recesses alone, because she doesn't "fit in". I'm hoping to move soon.
We have wonderful teachers and students that do a great job teaching and learning.
Great teachers make Oak Hill elementary one of the best schools.
The teachers really care about the students and this is the best school in Escondido!
Our school is great because of the people who work there. We have awsome staff who truley care avout the future of the kids they teach including my two!!
My son started at Oak hill and was here for His 1st 2 years. When we moved back to Escondido, It was the only school he would attend. Now he has completed his elementary years. He loved it and so Did I. Great Teacher and they work well with all the children.
I am a grandparent at Oak Hill and I appreciate the dedication and hard work that i have seen from the teachers. All of my grandchild's teachers have gone above and beyond in their efforts to provide a safe and stimulating learning environment. I commend the teacher's hard work and the time they put into nurturing and educating our community's children. community's children.
I am a parent at Oak Hill School and am very sad to hear that some people have bad experiences. I have joined the PTA in this school because of the outstanding teamwork showed by the Leadership, staff and teachers. They work as a team, they improve as a team. If there is a problem with a student, or even a teacher, it is normally worked out pretty quickly. I will agree that parent involvement is low, but most parents who live in the Oak Hill Area have to work to afford to stay here. Teachers welcome parents in the classroom, and enjoy their participation. I have lived all over Escondido during my life and Oak Hill is by far the best school in the school district. Oak Hill over the years has excelled by leaps and bounds and Oak Hill continues to move forward in every way.
I have read a few posts here and I agree with some. I am very concerned as a parent and am refraining from giving less of a rating only because I know there are some caring and hard working teachers here. I have two sons that have been at this school a few years and I am more than concerned about the quality of learning and time spent with each student. I have had to remove my oldest from some classes due to the teacher yelling, have had my youngest sons teacher actually insinuate that it was the parents job to teach and the teachers job to help them practice what they already know which is completely backwards and very disturbing to say the least! My sons come home more often than not without any homework. This is a small list but, I am currently looking to move due to this!
It seems I share the same feelings as a couple of the other parents that have left feedback. Shame on the parent blaming undisciplined students! You have no idea why some students appear to be unruly. Let me inform you that this school will do virtually nothing for a student with ADHD. Any teacher that can yell at a student in the middle of class to the point of tears should not be teaching! There's a total lack of communication with those involved in these situations. God forbid you have a student with ADHD, you're virtually on your own as far as finding help. Student's learning is a collaborative effort between teacher, parents and student. Teacher's need to change up their teaching strageties so all students have an opportunity to learn. I have a second child who doesn't have any behavioral/learning issues and things are fine for him.
