I went to Oak Grove and now my daughter attends. They are more like a family than a school.

My daughter attends Oak Grove elementary, and I could not be happier. I volunteer every week and get to interact with the administration. The principal is frequently visiting the classrooms and is always greeting the parents every morning in car line. I have many friends whose children attend different schools among Lexington One District so I can compare stories, and I could not be happier with the way things run at Oak Grove. I have heard complaints from other schools that their children are taking naps or being put in front of the TV to just watch movies during the day. I am confident that my daughter is getting a top notch education as well as feeling safe in her environment. As a small school with an awesome facility, Oak Grove truly is the best little secret in Lexington One.

OGE truly is the best school in the area. The administrative staff is very visible and knows each student's name. The teachers are caring and supportive and go the extra mile for the children. Safety and security are top notch and I know each day that my child is learning in a secure environment. Oak Grove is a small, close knit school that has a comunity feel. It is rated a 10 for a reason-because all who know Oak Grove Love Oak Grove. It is a top notch school thanks to all the faculty, staff, parents and students.

My daughter is in Kindergarten at Oak Grove. She loves everything about the school. I love everything about the school. She loves going to school everyday. The teachers teach to the level of each child and ensures every child is challenged regardless of their current level.

My son is in the 1st grade and this is his first year at OGE and I love this school. I volunteer quite often and this is one of the best things that I could have ever done. His teacher has great order and structure in the classroom. Her teaching style is wonderful. My son has and is learning so much, I see such a difference in him academically and I say thanks to his teacher for working with me to see that my son gets the best education. Everyone is just so involved, it's such a pleasure to be apart of the OGE family. Mrs. Price is such a friendly and involve principle, she's there every morning to greet the students and the parents and she's always pleasant. I'm so blessed to know that when I send my son to OGE that he's getting the best education.

OGE is the best ! I have two boys that have attended Oak Grove since K-5. One is now at the middle school, in 7th grade. The youngest is a 5th grader, still at OGE. Both have had the best experience at Oak Grove. I wanted to point out the fact that OGE seems to have the best cafeteria staff. I eat with my children often at school. The ladies call themsleves 'The Lunch Bunch'. A bunch of sweet ladies,they are. They always have a great salad and hot bar for the teachers, and any parents who want to come and eat. Thank you, Oak Grove, for all that you do for our children.

Our son started Oak Grove last year and we LOVE it. The staff is wonderful and so involved with the students. The principal, Mrs. Price does a great deal to encourage parental involvement and make learning fun (Literacy Night, Math and Science Night, etc.) The school provides a challenging learning environment, but it also has a small-town feel. It is the best kept secret in Lexington One!

Oak Grove Elementary is an excellent school with dedicated and knowledgable teachers. They prepare each student for a world of changing technology by continuously up grading and improving their own training in the field of computer technology. The faculty as well as the support staff are professional educators that take their jobs very seriously but never forget the child's emotional and social needs as well. My children have excelled in higher level education due to their solid elementary education at Oak Grove. I am primarily a parent of three students but also have taught at Oak Grove for many years. Our administrators continually challenge us to become better educators through their guidance, vision and incredible compassion for the human factor related to teaching. Oak Grove is a wonderful place to teach and learn. It's the jewel of the district being the smallest and best kept secret! Word has gotten out!

This is my daughter's first year at Oak Grove. My husband, who holds a PhD and I, have been extremely impressed with the quality of education at this school. Her kindergarten teacher is very creative in her educational approach. She is also very caring and has hastily responded to any questions or concerns I have posed. I have heard it said that Oak Grove is the 'best little secret in Lexington', and I hardily agree!
