OGLE is a big school that strives to make every student feel recognized and special. Because of our size and the mobility of our campus we are very serious about policies and procedures in order to provide a safe and orderly school environment. It is unfortunate that not everyone sees our efforts as trying to create the best environment for all children. Our teachers and staff are deeply dedicated and share a common agenda - the mission statement of our school district. We have a happy school with students who perform well - a Level 5 school - the highest accreditation level awarded by our state! I would encourage prospective parents to come and visit to determine if this is the school for their family!

We move frequently and came to Hattiesburg 2 years ago. My son has attended Kindergarten and 1st grade and I have been very happy. Since my children have not been to any other schools, I can't really compare, however, I do know the teacher/student ratio is MUCH better than almost all of my friends around the country. Here, each class gets a teacher and an assistant, and still only has 21 - 25 kids. Teachers we've had have been good, but security is lax. Don't like their new highly restrictive dress code that they call a 'uniform' though. Idea last year was presented as a uniform, but is not at all. Will make life complicated for parents and kids!

I was a sub teacher this past year with all the Oak Grove Schools and I have never seen any discrimination of students. I hate when someone comments about this every time something is going on. Students are treated as equal and I must say it was a pleasure to sub for them...I got first hand of how hard they work for such pathetic pay! If the only error one finds is not having a certain race or creed at one showing...geeze why not praise the great job the teacher did more and less on your idea of fairness! Thanks teachers...enjoy your time off!
