Horrible school. The board is bought by the superintendent. ItÂ’s awful for the kids.

Unless you are a believer"for the greater good" pushed on people by the government, this school is not for you. The administration there full heartedly embrace all covid measures like school on zoom, masks, covid testing and vaccines for little children. School admin. don't even let parents volunteer unless you have vaccine or covid test...

I have multiple kids/genders at Oak Valley and we have never personally dealt with bullying. The teachers are good at not allowing bad behavior to continue.

Kids are given enough to teach responsibilty, but still a lot of free time to be kids and play after school.

Most teachers are long term and they all feel dedicated to their students.

It is nice to see all the reward programs and the kids really pushing themselves to do their best.

We have loved all our teachers, appreciate the strong PTSA and parent involvement. The principal, teachers and aides all do a great job protecting the kids and making them feel valued. My children are thriving and happy at Oak Valley. We are very grateful to our dedicated teachers!

we love Mrs. Vargas who goes out of her way to direct our child in the right direction, and our child loves being in her class -again- as she taught 4th last year and 5th this year
thanks for having such wonderful teachers and for doing such a good job with our children

Oak Valley Elementary School, this is not the best school out there. On the first day visitation it was filthy. The principal is not something to brag about. There are some great teachers in there but I dont think they are well guided. 3,4 grade teachers so far do not believe in homework to help the child excel. Cant wait for this year to be over. TRANSFER....

Very impressed. We have been in several good school districts across the country and in the Santa Ynez Valley. Dedicated teachers and administration. Parents that are involved. Bright, newer facility. Pleasant surprise.

We love Oak Valley! The teachers are excellent and provide a great learning environment for all students. The PTSA is a very supportive group and provide for many enrichment activities. The administration works with the teachers and other staff members to make Oak Valley a wonderful place for a child to lean and grow. Parents are welcome on campus as volunteers and are a integral part of the school community.
