Caring staff, great kids and a principal who is constantly working to build community. We love the after school programs offered for our kids.

When I went to this school, they provided basically nothing for the 6th grade classes. The teachers may be nice to some but not all. Most harassed us. They didn't provide proper treatment for the children and even though they showed symptoms of depression or anxiety, they focused on academics and bus drill. While I went there, there was a kid who was sent to court for bringing drugs onto school grounds. They clearly show no support what so ever to the upperclassmen.

I've had children at Oak Tree Elementary since 2013. We've had them in special programs such as their preschool and ALP programs. We find that the staff always do their best to go above and beyond to get our students what they need. We love this neighborhood school
