Since the new principal took over, this school has gone from bad to worse. There is so much…read morebullying that is overlooked, the noon aids pay no attention to the students, which allows other students to be not just verbally violent, but physically violent to one another. The way they handle things sets kids up to be bullied even more. There is no real conflict mediation. Then if there's a problem with a teacher, it's not properly addressed without putting the parents and the student on full display. The school is operated in such an unethical manner now. The people in the office have the most rudest and disgusting attitudes, except for Mrs Rocio(hopefully correct spelling), she's super nice and always extremely helpful... the teachers here are very mean and act like they hate helping the kids achieve better. They make the kids feel like they are dumb to ask for extra help. They compare other students with the more advanced ones to their faces and that's not okay. A child should never be made to feel less than another. Everything reflects on the principal, who acts like she doesn't know how to run a school and naturally it shows with the way her teachers and aides etc are ALLOWED to run around and act. They deserve a misconduct award. Then when students go to them to try to get help for being picked on, they don't even actively listen and there are no repercussions for the other student, which gives them a free pass to continue picking on students because it's uncorrected and poorly handled. This school has sadly gone downhill since Mrs Alba got there. If you enroll your child here, please always check on your child's mental, talk to them about what goes on daily, make sure they open up to you about the teachers, the students. Etc... and never stop fighting for your child's rights to be protected from any form of abuse. I pray everybody's child who attends here is protected and covered by the blood of Jesus... lastly, I'll state, I pray that all parents stay proactive in their children's life so they will know it's not okay to bully, it's not okay to be disrespectful and walk around cussing and talking inappropriately. Schools have a job to do, but we as parents must also do our job as well. Teach your child to protect themselves as well, because they will encounter much bullying at this school. It's sad, but it's the reality of the way the school operates.

My siblings and I attended a private Christian school as children and we loved the OVERALL…read moreenvironment. The small classes and the one-on-one and overall attentiveness of the teachers and staff. The values and morals instilled at OCS are simply incomparable and are so similar to what we were taught growing up with a Christian education and in a Christian home. Being kind, treating others with respect and how you wish to be treated, loving your fellow mates, praising God daily and every night, and always putting God 1st. This school isn't just a school, it's a family. My niece has been here since kindergarten and just started 3rd grade and we couldn't have chosen a better "home" for her. The curriculum is unsurpassable. The kids rotate between their main teacher, language class, music, art and p.e. Their graduation percentage and college attendance is astounding. They teach the children to be honest, individual, creative thinkers. All things most schools don't offer until well AFTER elementary. They challenge the kids and they never feel defeated. They KNOW there is a next time & also are aware that they can't take that "next time" for granted. The entire office staff are the most kind and beautiful hearted people I've ever encountered. They are kind, endearing, very engaging and simply a blessing to have them in my nieces life. You'd really have to step onto this campus to get the warm feeling I'm trying to convey to see for yourself. It really and TRULY is a home away from home for the kids. Thank God for OCS.

The teachers, most of them are Karens and Susans and whenever a student is horribly bullied and tell their teachers, all they say is, "It's not my job to look after you on the playground," which is honestly really disappointing since those who are watching the kids on the playground don't even care. I got bullied a lot in 2nd grade and the teacher knew that I kept getting harassed by this kid but did nothing and act like it wasn't a big deal. The teachers could care less about the students' mental health. The proctors on the playground and lunch yell at the kids for simply standing up or not getting food and not letting the kids sit with their friends from other classes. I have other reasons but these are my main ones.

Don't get me wrong it was always a bit cliquey but it's taken a turn for the worse. The office staff is rude and disrespectful. The events are always communicated to the parents the day of, the day before, or in cases like today, the day after. That's finally what prompted me to write a review. There's typos in the communications from teachers and staff alike. And for how unorganized and late their communications are you'd think they'd show some grace for the students, but of course, they don't. The proctors or whoever it is that stand outside during onsite events have attitudes every single time. Sometimes I'm walking straight towards a ramp and they wait till my foot is on the ramp to tell me I had to go around. Now, why would you do that unless you want to be rude ?? Common sense would tell you to let people know on their approach, "hi, welcome, you're going to enter on your left" or something to that effect. A few years ago when the new "management" came in my child was being picked up for a fall and the office staff started yelling at my child and had her finger in my child's face when I had to say something. If that's how they treat kids when a parent is around, imagine when they're alone?? I really miss the old principal. He was the complete opposite of current administration. PFO and all the activities are so dull and sad looking and I know it's because of the leadership and the people who make it so unpleasant. I have one child at another school in the area due to special needs and it's like night and day with Edison. I'm talking parades, backdrops, Christmas presentations with props, the whole nine yards. Can't wait to be done with this school in two years.
