Honestly, this school is terrible. My son hasn't learned a single thing since he's been here, and he says they stay on one subject for nearly two months, maybe even three. Close Quote

Teacher call parent with vice principal that my kindergarten was not able to follow routine on second day of school teacher put my kindergarten to the wrong bus number teacher confirmed she saw her go on bus number two obviously she didn't because my daughter was on bus number 3
Teacher was not concern of my child but annoyed that she had to teach my daughter extra harder that's is what kindergarten suppose to be. Teaching kids that parents weren't able to teach them at home. They shouldn't judge parents. Close Quote

We love White Oak. All three of my kids are thriving there. It's got a great sense of community. Close Quote

This school we feel is less about our children and more about looks. We do not ever see the principal and the couple times we have there is no enthusiasm for our children and the school. Time for a change I'm sorry to say. We're moving for hopes of a better elementary education. Some great teachers here though. Close Quote
