We who withdrew are happier! The grass is greener on the other side! Principal and teachers are amazing at our new school!!!! Thank you for doing so bad that we all left!

My daugther has been in Oxford Academy for three years now and she is doing great! Currently her class has only 14 students which is a plus. I believe that the principal is doing an excellent job together with the teachers and parents.

This is our 3rd year at Oxford Academy. My children are doing very well academically. Test scores say it all. The teachers are very highly qualified and the principal has a very good eye in choosing them. A small class size is always a plus! You can't beat it! We are a K-8 and hope to be a K-12 in the future. The parent involvement is great and strives to be even better.

We are now a K-8 school!!!! AWESOME!!!! That's one of the reasons I decided to put my child in Oxford. We are so happy!!! Couldn't ask for more, or perhaps just ask for a little bit more of parents involvement. The PTSO is doing an excellent job!!! Let's support them. Also, the people who have withdrawn their children are really not aware in what they're missing, THE GRASS IS NOT ALWAYS GREEN ON THE OTHER SIDE, you just need to see the grades on your child's report card that's what is important!!!! By the way the administration is doing an excellent job!!!

The size of the school is a plus, classes are small and your kid receives more attention this way. The environment is safe and friendly. There are lots of activities, and fundraisers that celebrate school spirit such as no dress code day. Howeve I consider having a 'nerd day' inappropriate. I cant understand why would a learning institution mock intelligence, or perpetuate a stereotype that ridicules being smart or socially awkward children. I think encouraging this type of event - especially at such young age they dont even know what a nerd is?!- might send the wrong message . There are other themes such as pajama day, or crazy hat day, dress like a historic figure etc. Lets stay away from negative stereoptyping.

Oxford Academy is an amazing school and I couldn't be happier with the education my child is recieving . This school year has begun with such a positive feeling - the new teachers are wonderful, as well as those who remained and the way everyone seems to be working as a team makes me very excited to see what is to come. I feel sure that the school, students, and staff will be extremely successful this year.

Great teachers left or were let go due to administration. I withdrew my child because I don't feel comfortable having my child in a school were administration and teachers do not see eye to eye. It is very sad because it was a school with potential.

I love this school. I am glad I made the decision to put my child at Oxford rather than the home public school. Many great things are happening and more to come. But the only complaint I have is that I wish for the teachers to dress for success. I believe the teachers should also be required to wear uniforms as they are our children's role models and authority figure while they are in school. The sneakers and flip flops should be kept for the weekends.

I am at loss about the criticism. This administrator and office manager have gotten a 6th grade added, and are now working very hard to get a 7th and 8th grade. This means our children will get to stay with their peers all the way through middle school. All this done without an assistant administrator and running a 200 child school. You want warm and fuzzy home school, you want a great education and safe environment then let them do their jobs and judge by your childs education.

I am very pleased with this school, the teachers and administration have been so helpful and understanding. You will not find the warm caring atmosphere at another school. The principal cares about each class and puts forth her maximum effort to run such a good school. The receptionist has always been very helpful with anything I have needed as well as all the teachers. It is a good feeling when you can drop off a middle school student and know they are safe, unlike many other schools. I am looking forward to my child finishing middle school here and hopefully even high school.
