I Love this school because my science teacher (Ms. Orner) is teaching us about atoms and it is very interesting

I attended this school my whole junior high career, and i HATED it . It was so boring, the teachers were boring, they never really put much effort into helping you. We all had friends that attended OPJH and they always had stuff going on and okaleaf never did. I mean sure the facilites are nice but id rather have a better student body and teachers. The rules were over the top , and the locker layout was awful ! you tried not to go so you could avoid all the mess in the hallway , the lunches were so jammed full of people it took forever. And you still have to walk in lines , and the roatating schedule was rediculous, when i got to OPHS and they talked about the rotating schedule everyone laughed and said they never heard of it and how stupid it was! i HATE it

I totally disagree. My child has attended Oakleaf since it was built. The Principals all were very caring and in tune with my child. Every potential incident, concern and problem I brought to them they addressed immediately! They took the time to talk and know the students by name. They offer free tutoring here. My child had started having problems in Math and I was able to get the tutoring offered. I had gone to other tutoring facilities and was going to have to pay $250 a month for less time, Oakleaf took care of it all with just a note. My child has been honor roll every year because of this. Oakleaf also has a before and after school Y program right on the site. It allows activites without me having to transport. My child is African American, kids and faculty love my child. Great School.

Very ineffective leadership, lacking follow-through on discipline issues, teachers treated poorly by administrators, and parents concerns are not taken seriously. That being said, the teachers are great for the most part, except for a couple here and there, and overall, the kids are great too, except for a few bad apples who are not handled effectively. There is however, a great deal of bullying among students, and several race issues. If you have the choice, do not send your junior high girls here, they will grow up too fast! Also, the special needs kids are NOT getting what they need, and this cuts into the time teachers have to spend with their other students, but that's a problem in Clay County as a whole. Go private or Christian if you can...best of luck! Not an 'A' school at all in my opinion.
