Great PTA and teachers! They try their hardest for the students. And great communication with parents.

My family has had 5 children attend Shady Oaks, and we have all loved it. This is an excellent school with top-notch educators. The school consistently receives the State's highest ratings. Having lived in the area for many years, I can attest to the fact that Shady Oaks Elementary is highly respected in the community. Keep up the good work!

Shady Oaks is a great school! My kids love it and so do I. Teachers and administrators really care about the students. I highly recommend Shady Oaks Elementary School!

The teachers there are extraordinarily nice . I have been there since kindergarten and loved it especially my favourite teacher Mrs.waggoner the GT/AP teacher . Not only are the teachers nice they dicipline fairly . I feel in love with the school on my first day and hopefully can do the same with my junior high

Our school has great teachers and staff. They are caring about students and safety as well as their learning. Would like to see more after school tutoring starting earlier in the year for those with problems understanding basic subjects.

I initially was excited about having my child attend here. However, after one 'incident' after another, I have learned that this school isn't as great as what people say. After discussing the school and a transfer with my husband, we spoke to some other parents that said they had removed their kids from Shady Oaks also. I have received 'anonymous' emails from parents accusing the administration of preferential treatment. I have heard my kid's teacher lose her patience and yell at the kids. The PTA is a joke. They are bullies. I honestly think the principal told me what she thinks I wanted to hear rather than be upfront about issues when we discussed my concerns. I have experienced my child being called 'chaos' from the teacher in front of the entire class and have watched as a biased colored dot tells me about how the teacher feels she has behaved. The 'behavior grading system' of red, yellow and green dots is entirely arbitrary to her teacher.I am sure the school is great for some families. I just feel children deserve better and that it all begins with the school's administration and how they handle problems.
