Overall the school has been great my kid's love getting up in the morning and going to school,Both my daughter and son are doing very well and love there teacher's , My only problem with Oklahoma city school's are the school uniform policy they were meant to stop gang affilation,But i think it's weird that highschool student's don't have to were uniform's and elementary student's do.And that is why I'am taking my kid's out of okc public school.
