Let me start by saying that the teachers are great. My unhappiness stems from what my son is NOT getting. This school is lacking in the areas of Phy.Ed. (which the teachers teach), Art (there is no art class outside of what the teachers do in the classroom), and Library (no library curriculum exists). Also, the school grounds are old and unsafe. After school begins, the grounds are open and accessible to anyone. In our last school, you had to be buzzed in the front door, here the doors and gates are wide open/unlocked all day long. And there is a lack of supervision on the grounds prior to school begins. Very unsettling.
My child has attended this school for the last year and a half, and I have been very pleased with the quality of education, activities, and time spent in the classroom. I agree with a previous reviewer that the office staff needs some inter-personal skills training, as neither of them are very friendly or approachable. The PTA last year was awesome, this year the group seems less organized. Overall however, I am very happy with our experience and plan on staying there!
I have two children that attend Fair Oaks. First - there is a high degree of professionalism with the staff and teachers. The State test scores this year went through the roof! I am very happy with the addition of a V.P. this year. Respect for others is discussed daily in the announcements. The PTA this year is fabulous. The only negative to be said about this school is the grounds. While they are kept clean, they are old and need to be updated.
My son had a great kindergarten year with Mrs. Cook. Parent involvement excellent, many exciting activities. Only drawback: office staff extremely rude and snobby. I avoided going there as much as possible. But all in all a nice little school, could use some updating on the grounds.
