I have been impressed with this school since day one. They are VERY organized and patient with the students. There are all kinds of free classes and events the adults can attend, too. I have no complaints. My son enjoys his Kindergarten class and he is already spelling out words, adding and subtracting and enjoying his social time. The afterschool program they have there (KINS) is excellent, too. It's not a brand new school and there are some questionable families there but everything runs smoothly. All of the kids seem very comfortable, confident and willing to help others.

I have two kids at Oak Grove. The school is clean and 'homey.' Most teachers and staff are kind and experienced. Like all TX schools, they 'teach to the TAKS test,' so not much creativity or innovation. Has a G/T program, kids bussed to another elementary school nearby once a week. Few after school programs, other than aftercare. Few fieldtrips -- 1 per year per grade, 2 at most. Has computer class, music class and Spanish once a week. Has a science lab. Good school nurse. Cafeteria adequate and clean. Buses safe and well-maintained. Big apt. complex next door and across the street is worrisome. Has crossing guard at busy intersection.

Seems good, albeit a bit old facilities-wise
