Car lines at this school are horrible. I’ve almost been t-boned twice, both entering and exiting the school. My child is being bullied to the point of crying not wanting to go to school. I’ve spoken to the teachers, principal, assistant principal, resource officers etc and had plans in place to take action but they have failed to keep my son’s safe and comfortable. Inappropriate language written in bathroom stalls. A child with a vape trying to get other children to use it. Fighting at recess. Staff doesn’t pay attention (but would rather talk to each other or on phone) than to watch for any dangers or bullying over ANY CHILD that need to be more supervised especially when they have been told REPEATEDLY who he/she is ESPECIALLY!!! There’s no excuse for bullying even when I’ve tried and tried but they still don’t care about the kids that are in harms way. It’s just a job to them!!I would seek another school to send any child to than OAKLAND ELEMENTARY!!

I loved every aspect of Oakland Elementary School. The Principal and Vice Principal as well as the teachers and other school workers really cared about the children and about them actually learning and doing their best. They even care about the children as they would their own children. I was a PTA mom and I volunteered for my son's class and I loved it and I witnessed how much the teachers actually cared and how well they taught the children. My son learned A LOT from this school. I was highly impressed with the material they learned and the activities they participated in. They do a lot of fund raising though, so be ready to help your child sell a lot of different items throughout each school year...lol.
