We love this school. This is our 7th year at Oak Tree and we’ve benefitted so much by being a part of this community. The teachers are attentive and care about their students. The principal knows the kids and families by name. Class sizes are still small which has been a huge benefit. I believe the largest class my kids have been in was 21 students but 18 has been typical so far. The teachers have worked hard to provide after-school clubs like chess, drama, choir, cheer, and student council. Free family events are hosted by PTO after school a few times a year. The gifted/accelerated program has been great for my oldest. I am so glad that we picked Oak Tree. Close Quote
