I must say I was apprehensive about sending my white daughter to this school being that she was the minority. However, by the Secound day she already had friends and was accepted by the other kids with no problem. She originally was going to go to balboa and wanted to go there after this year but since has changed her mind and wants to finish at ocean view. I'm very please with the office staff, they are very kind and attentive to the childrens needs etc. my daughter like all her teacher which makes me happy. I think the grading system is different but it works. My daughter is a straight "A" student and is doing well at this school.

This is my 3rd attempt to submit a review of this LOL, school and each post has been removed. Apparently speaking the truth in America today is not a good thing or apparently it is evil. My conservative views believe people have the right to know what is going on at this school but apparently Great Schools and bleeding heart liberals don t feel that way. It seems they only want positive reviews and robot people who think and act like them and don t see what a mess this school is. I don t know a good way to sugar coat how bad this school really is, I have had two children attend this school and neither of them made it a full year. So I ll just simply say; if your child speaks English then find a different school to send them to. I could go on, and on but I ll leave it at that, god knows (sorry I forgot you can t say god) I don t want to offend any bleeding heart liberals. MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is not a good school. For all military families in the area if your child is in this district try to find another school! Huge problem with bullying and racism, my son has been picked on and called names for being white almost every day. Not impressed with the principal either. The schedule for classes and the way grading is done is too confusing. A 0 star school.

The academic program is great. Children are held accountable for thier homework. If not done...it's mandatory that they stay after school to finish it.Nothing to offer for afterschol activities. One major proble...the chool does not inform parents of upcoming events with adequate time to make arrangements. I've had to miss several events due to the school notifications coming only the day before the event.
