Whispering Oak Elementary School

My daughter attended K and 1st grade at WOE and is now almost a full grade behind because of a lax curriculum and/or lazy teachers. There was poor communication from the teachers and what I can only believe to be educational neglect in the classroom, letting kids play on computers instead of actually teaching. We transferred to a nearby charter school where my son now attends K and he is learning much more advanced skills than they taught at WOE. I'm very disappointed with our experience at WOE and now feel like my child was just a # at this huge disappointment of a school. Regretfully, Parent of 2 that will never go back to Whispering Oak.

i attented Whispering Oaks Elm. five years ago and had the best experience and still till this day its one of my foundest memories. i was involved in everything from student council, tv production, all the way to speech competitions. i dream of going back there one day because it honestly helped shaped me into the person i am today. the teachers so kind and inviting and there was also an activity i could join. the students so friendly to a new face. whispering oaks is the kind of environment you want for child.

This is one of the worse school I have ever known. My overall rating will be (O) Zero.This all started since the first day of school when at the car pool I was picking up my kids, my younger one was actually pushed into my car by the one of the administrators, just because my son did not enter the car when he was told to do. My son experienced a horrible trauma that it really sealed him for the rest of the time he spend there, to the point that it made me changed my mind about getting my kids in any other public school. I thanks God the we are able to get them in a private school. The teachers do not want to work, the principal leadership is embarrassing, very poor school leadership, the PTA dept. is never available, they are completely disorganize...even the nurse left the school; there are no good challenging academic programs. Please do your homework before registering your kids in this school, I did not and I really regret it.

I actually am very disappointed with this school and how administration handles things here. I don't feel my child is getting the best that he can get although some of the staff is great, others are not! Just as the teachers/staff would like to be respected the kids deserve the same. I would definitely not rate this school as "A" as I have seen much better and my child will actually not attend here another year.

I have been in the school two years now and I have seen how well the teachers and staff get along. The student academics and safety are very important. I feel that my kids are having a good education and are safe. I have seen first hand in an emergency how GREAT they handle all the kids. Very impressed!!

I have been teaching at WOE for 3 years. It is a wonderful place to teach and for students to learn. The leadership is great and staff is so supportive. Although large, we really are one, big, happy family!

In such a large school, over 1300 elementary students, I was worried about having my 2 students attend. We are feeling very fortunate to have had great teachers that care, a principal who is open about parent involvement, and a school that makes sure my children are in a safe, happy, learning environment.

I am very disappointed with this school. It is so large and unorganized that I get an uneasy feeling everyday when I drop my son off...when I meet him for lunch the staff is yelling at the kids. I want to pull him out when I have another option.
