Oak View Middle School

My child is in 6th grade and we have had a great experience at Oak View. He had some struggles with reading at the local elementary school. I met with the principal at the beginning of the year to come up with a plan for him. He has had a great year and experienced great success. It has been his bset year ever.

I have been very disappointed by the overall attitude of the current administration at Oak View Middle School. Parent involvement is not welcome, important student issues are swept under the rug, and the principal/assistant principal are not child advocates. There are some awesome teachers at each grade level who have made it educational for my children but my experience as a parent as been disheartening.

Have had a good year so far with my son. I do feel that the principal could be a little bit more accesible. The teachers are great and the assistant principal is on the ball!

Oakview Middle School, overall, is a great school. My son is in 8th grade & has been in the Newberry School system since 3rd grade. My only complaint about this school is too easy accessibility to students. Never being at the school before, I was able to check out my son with no question or request to see my ID. A bit scary in my opinion.

This is an excellent school. There is a basketball team and cheerleader for the middle school children. I wish they had a track team. Parents are encouraged to be involved in their child's progress. What makes this school so great are the dedicated teachers who are there for your child. They really do care. Although extracurricular activities are limited, the fundamental subjects are there and they are excellent.

I feel the school has not done enough to ensure the safety of the students. Too easily accessible by the public.

Oak View Rules! I love Oak View, this is my second year here and I wish I could stay forever. They have many after-school clubs to choose from and I easily understand the way my teachers teach! I have fun going to class and enjoy every part of this school! Also, the lunch staff works great, I love the food! Mr. Lyons is an awesome principal, he's friendly! 'Team Oak View' will keep up the GREAT work!

I feel the science program is weak. More should be expected out of the students. Doing shadow boxes with 7th graders is rather juvenile.
