Oakland Academy

Posted October 7, 2009

Oakland Academy is a great educational choice for families. Strong communication is established between the school and home through weekly progress reports that provide detailed information on how a student is performing in each curricular area. Oakland Academy also provides a 10:1 student teacher ratio to promote individualized and whole group instruction. Oakland Academy strives to teach the whole child; socially and academically. At Oakland Academy everyone feels like they are a part of the Oakland family.

Oakland Academy is the best school in the area by far. They have the best teachers I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. The school has won awards for the best charter school in the state and some of the teachers have been recognized as the best as well. The 10 to 1 student/teacher ratio is the best thing for all children in early education. And the weekly progress reports mean that you can stay on top of how your student is doing at all times and help them succeed. I really wish that the school would add 7th and 8th grades as I want my child to attend for as long as possible. I am so glad that I took my child out of the regular public school system after one year and found Oakland Academy.

My child started at Oakland a little over two months ago, after having attended another local charter school for two years. I have been THRILLED with every aspect of this school, and so has my child! Behavioral problems with students in the classroom are all but nonexistent. Instead of wasting time dealing with problem behaviors (which was a major issue at our old school), the teachers are able to spend every moment in some form of instruction or development. Having two teachers in each classroom (with no more than 20 kids/class) allows the teachers to offer customized instruction to each child, instead of the standard 'one size fits all' instruction model. My child's reading has improved more in two months of 2nd grade than it did in the entire YEAR of 1st grade! He's having fun AND learning more -- what more could a parent ask for??

OA recently won the Statewide School of Excellence Award. We've been at OA for 5 years and absolutely love it! Although there are not as many extracurricular activities as there might be at other schools, it makes up for it in adacemics. My daughter who is in their 6th grade is performing at an 8th grade level. They have the ability to continue to challenger her. We think so highly of the school that our newborn will go there as soon as he is school age. Never ever will I go back to the public neighborhood schools. I do have one grievance. After this year we have to move to another school as they don't offer a 7th grade. They have really spoiled us for other school programs. Thank you OA for everything you do!
