The teachers really care about the students.The administration seems committed to improving an already good school. I hope they continue to push themselves and their teachers to make it even better.

School excellent overall. Too many administrators with weak principals. New superintendent very involved. Elementary through 6 grade teachers outstanding. Homework and expectations really prepare them for high school.

We love this school! My children have been attending OGS for a year now (2008 school year) and they love it. Their reading and math skills have really improved and the teachers have done a great job in keeping us informed and engaged in our children's learning.

We moved to Green Oaks just to be at this school and we're so happy we did. The parent involvement is amazing, the teachers are great and best of all, it's K-8.

very good teachers , but our son has dyslexia which the school offered no help with.We had to pay a private tutor to help us out.since then we decided home schooling was a much better alternative

Discipline weak at jr high, better in elementary. Jr. high principal uninvolved with little follow through. Wilcox is excellent. Special ed dept excellent, they work with parents, elem. sped teachers are phenomenal, psychologist, Meserve, was instrumental in figuring out what was wrong with our son, the eval was comparable to a private eval. My children feel safe in school and are happy there.

The parents are more involved than the staff. The lunches are catered fast food which are very expensive. Very sports driven school/community. Lack of disciplinary action when very much needed. A lot of homework beginning in first grade. Beginning in first grade the children are graded with A-F scores and %. Heavy focus on reading, beginning in kindergarten.
