Oakwood Elementary School

Both of my daughters attend Oakwood Elementary and we could not be more pleased with this neighborhood school. The PTA is extremely involved and does amazing things for the school. Oakwood is small enough that all teachers and administrators know every child at the school. This year (2010) we have a new AIG teacher and the PTA has planted an edible garden.

I transferred my child to Oakwood from a local private school and have been thrilled with the morals, respect and responsibility this school instills along side teaching regular subjects. Oakwood has wonderful leadership and the teachers are the willing to work with parents to have a stable extended network of support for the students. They have a reading program that encourages all kids to read and learn. My child recently expressed in a speech the love he has for this school, I am so happy we chose this school for our children.

Oakwood is an amazing establishment. My daughter has thrived here. While there are always some short comings, academically I have no issues with Oakwood at all. In other matters, I think that their priorities seem to be not necessarily in the right place. A great deal of money has been spent this year on building a walking track as well as a large wall mural. While I'm sure both will be useful to some degree, repeated request from students and parents to have something as simple as swings reinstalled on the playground has gone virtually ignored. The staff is very approachable and I feel very comfortable coming to them in the event of any concern. Our family loves Oakwood!

Oakwood Elementary is full of wonderful teachers, administrators and involved parents. However, I think the curriculum is not challenging enough. There is not enough time spent on the average or excellent student because the system as it stands does not provide enough flexibility. I wish there was more language and creative arts and more P.E. classes.

The best elementary school I've ever encountered. Beautiful, well-kept campus. Excellent learning environment for students. Fantastic teachers and faculty. Living in this school district, I wouldn't even consider sending my children to any other school... public or private.
