Third school my son has attended in 4 years, and the best one by far! Close Quote

Huge sense of community at this school. Teachers are caring and active in the students lives. Only issues we had are that the grounds/buildings need a serious update and the way they teach Math in the lower grades is a bit different. Takes some getting used to, but may find that at any school. They always center activities and extra curriculars around the students and enrichment. My 3rd grader loves this school. Close Quote

My daughter has a learning disability and all the staff at oak height elementary did such a great job in helping her succeed in her education. If she had not been at this school I don't think she would have grown into the beautiful talented child that she is now. She had the best support team and now she loves school and excels in math. Thank you everyone at Oak Heights We Love You. Close Quote
