WOW - what amazing scores - Kudos the the leadership of the school (Principal/Asst. Principal) - the positive environment that they have created has had an incredible impact on the teachers and students. This is reflected, without room for debate, in the nearly 10 point gain in test scores! Awesome Job!
My son and daughter have started their first day of the 2009 school year, and already one of them has felt ashamed and talked down to by the assistant principal. I am sad that we will have to look to the charter school in the area, The Learning Choice, to support our children with both their academics and self-esteem. On the other hand, the teachers are of first rate quality, especially Mr. East.
Oak Grove is one of the best schools in East County. There is GATE/Honors program in all academic areas for all grades. School spirit is making a come back with the new enthusiastic and supportive principal Mrs. Callaway. Discipline issues are nipped in the bud with the new assistant principal Mr.Miller. Students actually know the schools rules now, where as before the rules were ignored by the former principal. The only negative about this school is that there is little communication from school to parent. They need to utilize the web site more. Otherwise, it is an exceptional school.
This school has been a big disappointment. Our sixth grader needs accelerated learning opportunities which have not been available. Its outstanding music program dramatically deteriorated while my child was here, so that it is at best mediocre currently. The special advanced math class for 6th grade was cancelled, and the caliber of most of his English teachers has been shockingly poor. It has therefore has presented disavantages to our family. It is a shame that so many quality staff left along with the former superintendent. We really miss the former principal, Mrs. Lopez, as well.'
