My daughter transferred here from Stuart Burns. When she was a student in Burns, she was getting bullied, the teachers never communicated with me, and the principal would never meet me. What they did was call cps (probably due to the fact that I was relentless about getting help for my child) which was absurd. Even the officer said it was ridiculous and closed the case the same day. After transferring to Oakmont, the teacher has taken care of the bullying, the principal herself has taken measure to help my daughter, and the staff has even met with me many times to figure out a plan to help not only her, but my son as well. I cannot tell you how much of a relief it is to have people that want the best for the kids there. I am sure there are difficulties sometimes, but overall this is a wonderful school. If a child has learning problems, and you express concern, they are going to try to help instead of pushing it to the side. Very please that my kids are now Cougar Cubs! read more

This school is the worse school in Dickson County and I've said that ever since my oldest son who is 21 went 1 year in 3rd grade. He still states he should've never went to that school. His teacher always tried to belittle him. My youngest son started going here 3 years ago. In pre-k he was getting hit daily by a student. I would tell his teachers and they advised that I would need to complain to "the office". In Kindergarten my son was hit by another student on the bus so my son hit him back. A couple of days later my 6 year old came home advising he was held in the office and the school officer talked to him about touching people. His dad nor I was never called and no note was sent home. I had to send an email to the principal along with someone from the board to get an explanation. Come to find out...the other students parent stopped the bus driver one morning and told him that my son hit her son. The bus driver wrote it up and passed it along to the school. They punished my child from what another parent told the bus driver...who also told me that he never saw them hitting each other. While he was sitting in that office another teacher was tautening him for having to sit in the office. My son has tried the "go tell the teacher" but is always brushed off. My son went to their summer program. In his class he would say "Oh my God". His teacher made him put his head down on the desk b/c he was "using God's name in vain". She took her personal beliefs and punished my child. Again the principal and board was contacted. Yesterday I got a message from him teacher that my son would receive a "major" due to a video that was watched and he hit a student back. I rec'd the letter from the principal that states, my son yelled in a students face & when the student hit my son.....my son assaulted him. Right after I rec'd the message from his teacher I called the school and the lady who I explained that I wanted to talk with the principal was uninterested so I sent an email. Today I get a call from the principal who states she sent me a response back by email. I checked my emails and of course..no email rec'd. This school lacks communication. If you're not in good with the staff your child will not thrive here. The only way to get something resolved is going over their heads. read more
