Let's just be open and honest! The teachers when my child started school until this year have been…read moreamazing!!! They fired all the teachers who wanted the high school to stay open so now we have teachers who are there for a paycheck!! The communication between teacher and parent is HORRIBLE!!!! I have had the experience of working with amazing teachers mrs. Cabe she's a breath of fresh air!! Mrs day is amazing with both of my children. Mrs clary!!! Awesome mrs allison as well amazing!! Mrs hollian is a wonderful teacher she may be young but she knows what she's doing!! Let's put it this way 5 years ago this school was so different! Everything has changed! One good thing we have amazing head of schools ms purdy and the principal mrs white is amazing!! This is a tough school for a child with issues, if they weed the bad teachers out it will be great!! The teachers with bad attitudes and who just don't want to genuinely see kids move forward more educated kids would be amazing. So many kids have left this year from my kids classes due to this very thing!! Beware before applying!!!!!

Way more than I could have imagined. I am very happy with the teaching and disciplinary methods and I love the fact that is like a private school but not with the cultural/ethical/economic limitations that you usually see w/in private schools. There is a lot of diversity and I think that is very important. Solid A!

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.

Oakhurst Elementary was closed in 2011 due to CMS budget cuts and later reopened as a CMS…read moreAdministrative Center. 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 :)

OMS is highly recommended for 6th and 7th grades, but 8th grade is another story, depending on what…read moreteam the students get put on. Our child has only had excellent teachers, and our family has always thought highly of the school district. This is the first school year we have been disappointed in OMS. We can all agree that there will always be teachers that students and parents are not 100% fond of, but this year was different. The number of parents and students complaining about the English I class on a specific team is mindboggling. The students and parents talk to one another, so everyone knows the difference between one English I class and another at OMS and NGC. The parents know one English I class is more demanding and harder than the rest. We know parents complained to the district last year, and the solution was moving those students to a different team, which is why many parents decided not to go to the district this year -- no hope for change. We also know that moving students to a different team was a solution for some students again this year. While the assistant principal has been very active in trying to help with all the complaints, for which all the students and parents are thankful, the principal's lack of action and empathy is a major concern. If a concern is brought to the principal's attention, he quickly dismisses the complaint and offers no solutions or ways to help. It does not matter if 1 or 1,000 students complain about the same issue; he will not stick up for the person(s) on the other end but will always make excuses for what you are trying to bring to his attention. There is a quick answer or reason for EVERYTHING! Do not go to the principal expecting any resolution for problems because he simply does not care and will do nothing. There is no "let me look into this" and get back to you; the conversation is done! This issue extends beyond the current students at OMS. It is about the students who endured a similar experience last year and will face the same challenges after current students leave. The problem is more than just moving kids from one team to another; it is about the quality of education and the learning environment at OMS. If the district truly values the students at OMS, they must thoroughly evaluate the English I course and the teacher. The school's reputation, particularly with 8th grade, is rapidly deteriorating and will only worsen if nothing is done.
