Oak View Elementary School

Oak View is a good strong school - one of (if not) the best in Bloomfield. We bought our house to be in this school. The biggest weakness is the "magnet" or gifted and talented program - they only meet for 2 hours every other week. But if your student is on target, or is struggling, this is the place to be. We've been very lucky with great teachers; however, the principle could make more of an effort to get to know the students.

We have been extremely satisfied with the quality of education our children have been receiving. The leadership, teaching and parental involvement is phenomenal. The school offers an aftercare program run by the YMCA which runs onsite from school dismissal until 6PM which is great for working parents.

I am very satisfied with the quality of education that my child is receiving at Oak View. Growing up in Bloomfield and being educated through the Bloomfield school system, we decided to purchase our home so that Oak View would be the school our children attend. We have made a wonderful choice. The teachers on staff are wonderful and provide very competitive learning opportunities for the children.

Both my children are attending Oak View School. The school has a high percentage of parent participation and the test score reflect this.

This school year will be 6 years that our family has been at Oak View Elementary. My kids came from a daycare Kindergarten environment into 1st grade and it was a tough transition for them. They had to make adjustments to there new environment and made lots of new friends. I felt like an outsider at times, but came to realize that most moms have the same general concerns about schooling and there children. Teachers are very understanding and are willing to work with parents to get the kids to do there best. There are many opportunities to network with other parents by getting kids involved in the many activities in and outside the school. Our 6th grader is on the honor roll and have been given great opportunities to stretch her learning in enrichment programs. We're still working with our 2nd grader who we see improvements little by little.
