I have a daughter in 3rd grade and a son in Kindergarten. Our experience with Empire Oaks has been nothing less than stellar! My children love going to school and adore their teachers. I don't ever hesitate to recommend Empire Oaks to new members of the community!
My daughters absolutely love this school. One's in 5th grade and one's in Kindergarten. They can't wait for summer to be over every year they've attended. The number of parent volunteers are extremely high, which is what makes a school absolutely outstanding. Our absolute favorite teacher has been Mrs. Donovan, my older daughter's 3rd grade teacher because she has a very strong educational background to bring confidence into each and every child no matter how shy they are. Most teachers are not educated in this area, so we felt so blessed to have had her.
Although I find that this school can produce high test scores, I find the staff to be very cold. I felt there was more attention to the "looks" of the classroom than to making the education experience well rounded. Absolutely no creativity, purely institutional. I know if I was a child, I would not want to be at this school, so my child will be attending a different school where people are kind and happy.
I have been at Empire for 6 years and have 3 kids that attend. The teaching is top notch, the principal is supportive and the parent involvement is super active. There are a lot of PTA sponsored events which are well attended.
