In addition, there were concerns regarding the conduct of staff members.My daughter became involved with individuals of a questionable character, and I found the experience of dropping her off at the institution to be extremely petrifying. In an effort to address the situation, a meeting was convened with the principal of the school and the district; however, no action was taken until a year later, by which time the drug situation had significantly deteriorated and even like that it has not been control. Also, to note my daughter's involvement in varsity-level swimming and polo for four years was observed, and an attempt was made to solicit guidance and support from her Coach Nelson. However, instead of maintaining confidentiality, the coach disclosed the matter to the entire team and mom in charge of helping. Consequently, the team and their teammates began to bully and isolate her, excluding her from all activities. Furthermore, none of her peers spoke to her, exacerbating the situation! The coach was also complicit in this mistreatment, as were some of the volunteer mothers who worked with him. The names of these individuals were Janet Stewart and Dana Robinson; They were supposed to be nurturing and kind, but they also mistreated my child and were abusive towards me, despite knowing that I was a single mother who had cancer.I submitted a complaint to principal and the school district again, but no action was taken. It was only after my child began attending Johnson that she encountered individuals of questionable character, and that drugs were permitted on campus. Nonetheless, it is gratifying to note that she successfully completed her studies at Johnson with honours, was awarded with an scholarship, and has now enrolled as a first-year student at a highly regarded university, where she continues to achieve academic excellence.However, the four years she spent at high school were a particularly challenging period for both of us. It is therefore not a school I would recommend. If it is chosen by the reader, however, it is important to be aware of the unsavoury characters that are present, and to not expect any support from the school district or its staff.

    After a full year of bullying (constantly being called names and put down, even by so-called…read more"friends") and problems, including my daughter getting hit in the head while she was taking a test, so hard that she saw double, because the kids were throwing paper balls around the room, sliding off desks, bouncing the balls off the teachers' desk, (one of them jumped up to catch the ball and as he came down his elbow clocked her hard on the top of her head) while the teacher was on her phone allowing all of it to go on.... I decided to pull out my daughter and put her at Legacy Traditional School instead. Another time, some bullies encouraged a special needs kid to wet his hand and slap her on the back of the neck during art class. She told me there were rumors of weapons being brought to school (one time a gun, another time a knife). She told me there was graffiti all over the bathroom stalls, the hallway floors and walls, and the classroom desks. Kids looked at inappropriate pictures during class, broke out into physical fights often, and were so mean to teachers they made them cry on a regular basis. In spite of sending police to inspect backpacks, and having the principal in the classroom these problems continued. It's utterly out of control and dangerous. She said most of her teachers were nice to her, which is why it gets 2 stars instead of 1. She was in the district all the way through from Green Valley, to Schlather, (love both of those schools!) but after 1 year of Dobie, I was done. I shouldn't have even let her stay that full year. I was so happy when it was voted on to allow for charter schools (Legacy to the rescue!!). I'm not saying Legacy is perfect, but it's 1,000 times better than Dobie hands down. No bullying (students are MUCH better behaved), no graffiti, teachers are nice and approachable, work load is reasonable, the principal is involved in EVERYTHING, which is awesome! There are tons of fun family events. The food is so much healthier (No artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, etc.) One downside: no changing rooms for the gym, bathrooms only, which is difficult, but that became irrelevant toward the end of the year as they aren't required to dress out anymore. Since Legacy only goes through 8th grade, she'll be going back to the district next year to Steele HS. My oldest daughter went to Steele, and my son goes there now. It seems to be mostly a good school, so only Dobie is terrible. The rest of the district (SCUCISD) seems pretty good.

    I wanted to take a moment to share an updated perspective on Great Hearts Live Oak. Over time, I've…read morecome to appreciate just how dedicated the staff is. They continue to be supportive, professional, and always willing to communicate with parents. Whether it's through phone calls, emails, or text messages, they make an effort to keep families informed, which is something I really value. The curriculum remains challenging and encourages students to think critically. While there are still some concerns about the lack of specific cultural observances, I do see that the school focuses on deeper discussions about historical events rather than just surface-level recognition. I can respect that approach, even if it's different from what some might expect. One issue that still comes up a lot is the car line. The construction in the area has settled down a bit, but now there's a new challenge--sharing the road with other businesses. It definitely adds another layer of congestion, but I think it's important to acknowledge that a lot of the frustration comes from how we, as parents, handle the process. There are still too many instances of people not paying attention, blocking driveways, or leaving huge gaps in the line, which just makes things worse. If everyone followed the guidelines, it would probably run a lot smoother. The school is still a charter, which means funding is always a challenge. It runs largely on donations and tuition, but not every family contributes equally, which puts extra strain on resources. At the same time, the staff is stretched thin, and I know that makes classroom management tough. It's understandable that some behavior issues might be handled more strictly just because teachers have so much on their plates. One thing I've been thinking about lately is how easy it is for us as parents to rate and critique a school, but I wonder how the school would rate us. A child's education isn't a one-way street where only the school has to be accountable--parents play just as big of a role in making sure their child succeeds. Whether it's supporting teachers, reinforcing expectations at home, or just being mindful of how we contribute to the school community, it's something to consider. Overall, my experience with Great Hearts Live Oak has been positive, even with the challenges. No school is perfect, but I do see the effort they put in, and that matters. I just hope that as a community, we can all recognize that education is a shared responsibility, not just something for the school to carry on its own.

    My review is specifically for Mr. Corey Edwards, the AP History teacher, whose class made my…read moredaughter's school experience extremely challenging. From our experience, my daughter and many of her classmates left the course feeling that they had learned very little. His teaching style primarily consisted of having students take notes, study those notes independently, and then take tests, with very little meaningful instruction or engagement. On multiple occasions, when students approached him for clarification or additional help, they often felt dismissed or like they were inconveniencing him rather than being encouraged to learn. In all my years as a parent, I have never encountered a teacher who was so ineffective in the classroom. It also appeared that he had taken on numerous additional responsibilities, which may have affected the amount of time and attention he was able to devote to teaching his students. Another concern was what many students perceived as clear favoritism toward a small group of classmates, which created an uncomfortable classroom environment and was noticeable to others. Based on our experience, I would not recommend Mr. Edwards as an AP History teacher. I believe he would benefit from additional training in instructional methods, student engagement, and creating a classroom environment where all students feel supported and comfortable asking questions. Very UNSATISFACTORY

It takes up a large area, and is built sorta at an angle from the intersection. There's plenty of parking here, and the school design looks interesting with cool courtyards with trees and benches along the outside of the school. I was disappointed with the state of the restrooms here. It seems like these students have some hardships with the state of the restroom, much of which can be attributed to lack of upkeep and cleaning the place after all these students. The classroom we were situated in was nicely decorated with Harry Potter stuff, and cool stuff on the walls. It was a nice location to get educated! The school administration has bulletin boards letting students know where the rules stand, and upcoming sports and events and such.
