Public education at private school standards. My children transferred to Angel Oak Elementary in second and fifth grade and were immediately welcomed by the students and staff. The principal greets each student by name as they walk into the school each day and she knows about their interests and achievements. The teachers are phenomenal and I have noticed that students in all grade levels are instructed in both small group and class settings, allowing for specific needs and skill sets to be addressed. Because of their implementation of character education and development, the culture of the school is supportive. The focus is on celebrating successes. Close Quote
