The Oaks is no longer the great school it once was. Problematic children have more rights then those who get bullied. Staff sweeps problems under the rug and do not address issues with in the school. Staff is not welcoming to parents. Sad to see a great school in a great area decline in such manner. Our kids deserve better than what The Oaks offers.

Our son went to Oaks for 2 years before we transferred. We never realized what a great school it was until we had to accept a school with a much lesser focus on education. The gifted and talented program at Oaks was great. The students were challenged and encouraged, and were motivated to enjoy learning. I firmly believe that the success that our son has achieved in the 7 years since we left the Oaks, can be directly tied back to the foundation that he received at Oaks. I would recommend this school to any parent who desires the BEST for his/her child!

I felt the parent involvement was good and many of the teachers were experienced. The staff was friendly and took care to ensure the safety of the students.

Mrs.Mavrinac is an awesome teacher at the Oaks. Our experience at the Oaks has been fantastic! We will miss going to the Oaks next year as my daughter Nikki moves into middle school.

The Oaks is a fabulous school. The teachers and staff are extremely professional. They really go the extra mile to achieve success. I really do believe that it is a grave error to judge a school by a single test snapshot.
