Glen Oaks Elementary School

The Leader in Me program destroyed what was once a decent school. The program teaches dependence, not leadership. It's everywhere. It is in the announcements, in teacher emails, in pep rallys, the basis for their award system, etc. The school does not give grades... they use the Rubric's system which results in almost all kids getting 3's all the time. These 3's are subjectively given to students based on teacher's opinions and ideas about how much they might know on a subject. Glen Oaks eliminated the academic honor roll and replaced it with The Leader in Me go-getter obedience award. The school is more focused on their social-emotional programs than on learning and knowledge and accountability. Terrible school if you want your kids to be successful in the real world one day.

Leadership is OK but they really need to take a step toward stopping bullying. My children and I have seen students bullied at school and on field trips. Principal has told me that at Glen Oaks we don't have a problem with bullying but in reality they do!

Wonderful school all around. Great leadership and happy teachers.

5 stars overall. My kids miss school all summer and are thrilled to be back in session!
