My son is in third grade and has been attending SOES since kindergarten. Over the years, I have come to realize that this school focuses all its energy, attention, and resources to failing and below average students. My son is in the 'Academically Gifted Program' and it is a joke! He goes to the AGP class for two and a half hours, once a week! It is absolutely shameful. This school has absolutely no interest in gifted students, and has an equal lack of interest in attentive, caring parents who want to be involved in their children's education and school. I am praying that this will be my son's last year at SOES. I am doing everything within my power to get him to another school, as well as keep my younger son (who starts kindergarten in the fall) from having to go to SOES.

This is a great school where the teachers and staff truly care for the students. My child has been to one other school prior to this one. We prefer Seven Oaks!

Seven Oaks Elementary is one of the highest rated in the midlands of South Carolina. However, that was before the new principal they have for this year. He keeps the school on lockdown as if it a prison. The children are locked out in the mornings. Two buses arrive and the children cannot get into the school and have to wait outside (even in the rain!). Talk about a breeding ground for potential predators and child molestors! Prior to this new principal, the children would go into the school upon arrival and wait in the cafeteria (if they were eating breakfast) or the multi-purpose room (if they were not). At least then they were safely Inside the school.
