My daughter is in kindergarten and even during a pandemic she has flourished! We feel so grateful to be a part of this amazing school. The staff is kind and all seem to know the children. My daughter’s teacher is the most patient and kind person with good communication with the parents. I absolutely love the specials classes that they have (Spanish, art, music, stem, PE). I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school. We love it!

My daughter loves John Rex School, and her teachers. We have a very positive experience so far. What we like about the school are (1) the STEAM curriculum, (2) utilizing different facilities in downtown like the library, myriad garden, and museum of art, (3) caring teachers with effective teaching techniques, (4) extra fun courses like Coding, Spanish, and Music, and (5) strong community and parent involvement with the school. It's nice that John Rex is located in downtown OKC because it is easier to be more involved, and attend school activities during the week for parents who work downtown.

My daughter and I have loved this school. She will only be here for another year but it is by far the best school she's attended (we've done okc public and private schools as well).

Location is great but when it gets down to it the amount of kids on IEP because the first two years they had no clue how to run the school now all of these kids are behind. Look at the turn over each year is terrible. The board should pay more attention on how this school is actually being ran rather then letting the head of the school do whatever he wants. Parents get kicked out each year the tier system is a joke. They only let in people they know just like they hire only teachers they know. School personal should not be just white blonde people.

This school has been so amazing for my son. He enjoys going to school every single day. The teachers are so attentive and genuinely care about each one of their students. Cannot wait until this Fall when my daughter will get to attend as well. No complaints. If you are lucky enough to get a spot at this school do not take it for granted. Just wonderful!

My daughter has attended this school since she was in kindergarten. This year will be her third year and we are just as excited for this year as we were the first! This school is exceptional not only in its diversity, but in the different methods of teaching it incorporates as well. We have been very impressed with virtually everything John Rex has to offer and has done for our daughter. We are beyond thrilled our daughter can call John Rex Charter Elementary her school!

This school has been a great experience for my two children that attend. The downtown atmosphere allows them to explore all that OKC has to offer. Downtown library, art museum, local businesses and a wide variety of activities. They have grown in ways I never expected.

LOVE this school. Thankful everyday my son attends. Small class size allows better quality teaching, their entire approach to education is different, & in a good way. Hands-on learning, amazing staff, I could go on & on!

We chose this school based on the academics and location. This is our son's second year and we couldnt be more excited. Our son is in Kindergarten and already knows how to read (small books) add and subtract, count money, measuring with ruler and tape measure, and he takes a spanish class. The staff is amazing and very patient and organized. The YMCA is who does the before and after school progam. They are absolutely phenomenal. Our son is learning to be a very well rounded person due to us making the decision to place him in this school. Our family loves this school so much we hope they build a mid to high school so that we can keep the same values and morals going. Great job John Rex Charter!

We chose to transfer our son into this school becuase of the promise of individualized learning plans and STE(a)M curriculum and could not be happier with that decision. Becuase the school is so new, allot is yet to be seen but the progress our son has shown and his response to the PREK program here has been remarkable. I think what this charter is trying to accomplish is doing great things for the children and future of this city.
