Tried to register my nibbling here and I met the Receptionist and Principal. They assisted me in my…read moreregistration journey and got me going in the right direction. I had to be pretty persistent with them because I was going off information from our previous school and sometimes things get lost in transferring. The information I had wasn't the most accurate but I think my persistence helped in getting the ball rolling. I didn't see much of the school but it overall seems like a great school and I heard great things about it. I would have loved for my nibbling to go there but we were placed at another school. Lake Wylie Elementary 13620 Erwin Road Charlotte, NC 28273 (Review 607 overall, 151 in 2021)

My daughter finished Kindergarten here and will be going into 1st grade and I very highly approve of what I've seen here at OPS. Great teachers, food menus, facilities, and programs! OPS is for K & 1st only, then the kids go to High Hills for 2nd & 3rd, Shaw Heights for 4th & 5th, then out to Hillcrest for middle school. I think it's actually brilliant to seperate them like that so they can focus on learning and having fun without the pressures of older kids.

In March of 2013 CMS announced a $400 million education upgrade and plans to reopen Oakhurst Elementary as a K-8 STEAM partial magnet school in time for the 2015 - 2016 school year. The core focus at the newly branded Oakhurst STEAM Academy will be on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math... aka STEAM. Since its been given the "partial magnet" status, there is a percentage of first priority available seats to children living within the outlined neighborhood boundaries which include Chantilly, Amity Gardens, Commonwealth Morningside, Echo Hills, and Oakhurst. All other children attending Oakhurst Elementary will have to enter via a lottery. The official school mascot is the Oakhurst Rockets and the school colors will be light blue and light orange. Oakhurst STEAM Academy will feature a Science and Robotic Labs, Lego Walls, a even a 3D Printer!!! The re-opening of Oakhurst Elementary is a very welcome change in the neighborhood and will serve as the staging ground for CMS to improve the education of the next generation of Charlotteans :)

Union County schools are probably some of the best in the area. They do a decent job of balancing class sizes and recruiting good teaching talent.
