Oak Hill School

Since this a place is now where people voice their opinions about Oak Hill School, I have a few things to say. First, I want to thank all of the teachers for everything they have provided me with. By teaching me skills and lessons I will carry with me for the rest of my life, these teachers "job" is to teach the five core classes and arts, but they gone above and beyond and have taken it upon themselves to teach me the true values of being a good well rounded person. Second I would like to individually thank the administration for taking their time to help me with my dyslexia and providing me this all of the accommodations I need. Third, one of my favorite things about this school is the community based environment that has allowed me to be myself, and express who I am!

A really great school with so much to offer in the way of academics as well as bunches of electives and life skills integrated into the curriculum.

The educational level is exactly what we are looking for. When our daughter Alexa turns 4 we are enrolling her!

It's okay because it's great for very specific types of students, but not flexible to accommodate to students who are't that very specific type. The type is get's strait A's, should be a grade level ahead of where they are, kind of a nerd, and not much into sports, oh and your parents should be rich. First to get into this school you have to have mostly A's from your previous school, indicating you should be a grade level ahead of where you are. Instead of placing you a grade level ahead they take a regular class teach it in half the time and give you an hour of homework per class. Now this is difficult, but doable if you should be a grade level ahead. You are a nerd, if you don't have some quirky trait about you, you will be the odd one out. All odd ones form a posse of non-odd ones. If you don't want to be in the "cool" group you make yourself a group if they are still here. Everyone from K-12 does do an hour of P.E. with lots of different and cool units, but the extracurricular real sports are practically non-existent. Baseball, soccer, football, softball, swimming, track? Nope. Cross country. you betcha. Teachers and electives are hit or miss. Sometimes you will get an awesome one who keeps everyone in check and makes sure all are having fun. Sometimes you'll have a class where the teacher doesn't even know how to do something and expect the student just to figure it out while they still back and check e-mails. Study abroad programs are great going to several different countries including: Mexico, France, and Thailand. All students are required to take a foreign language, this is great for opening young people's minds to the whole world. The school also has a great root in being green, recycling, feeding food scraps to pigs and the garden worm bins. The school does have it's own garden, but mostly for learning purposes. Oak Hill may have many great things going for it, but be ready to do home work like your life depends on it because teachers are not always going to want to help you.
