This is a wonder school for parents to send their children for advancement in their education. The Principal, Dr. Thomas Rogers motivates the teachers, students, parents and others in the community. This school is a light in the community since Dr. Rogers became principal. I know first hand about what the vision is for this school. I congratulate Oakshire Elem. for being a school of growth.

This school is exceptional. My son went there in 07, then we had to back to California, and the level that he was being taught out there is 10 times better then he is being taught in California. The Principle was outstanding, they had school dances and allot of activities to motivate them into wanted to be star students,great job oakshire.
