My daughter went there, now my granddaughter goes there and I feel it's a highly rated school in our area, staff is great. Other reasons also.
Respect is the order of every day at Shady Oaks. The children respect themselves, each other, and authority. In the hallway, classroom, or cafeteria - wherever children congregate, an adult is in charge. In this environ, children thrive. Self actualization is permitted and tolerance for each child's abilities is routine. I know my child is gaining a wonderful education at Shady Oaks, including important lessons in addition to the traditional 'three R's'. She's learning how to behave with Respect, a valuable 'fourth R'.
I think this is a good school, however, it has not met my expectations. I was very happy that my child would be in a 'Core Knowledge' school, however, there seems to be a lack of interest from the administration of this school to actually make 'Core Knowledge' a priority. As far as parent involvement goes, that is also lacking. Therefore, you have a handful of parents who work very hard because the rest are pretty much absent from any volunteer opportunities. I am pleased with the teachers. They do an excellent job. They are very caring. In a nutshell, my main concerns are in regard to the curriculum and lack of parental involvement.
