Ott Elementary School

My children used to love Ott. Over the past 2 years they have started asking to go to a different school. Ott has steadily taken away fun activities. The number of after-school clubs has decreased (and many parents don't even find out about them until after they've started and it's too late to join). There is silent lunch almost every day. The amount of stress put on testing and performance has increased. Students are stressed out. Teachers are stressed out. Ott's current environment isn't conducive to creating a love of learning and seeking knowledge... it's all about student data, statistics, and testing performance.

Difficult Principal. Has a reputation for lying. Daughter's one and only recess was the last 20 min of the school day. Staff constantly had the kids partake in "silent" lunches. And the teachers put way too much stress on the children throughout the year regarding state testing. Ott cares more about the test scores than it does about he children. Disappointed.

Both my daughters have attended this school from k-5 and we have love it since the first day we attended the Kinder round up many years ago. Teachers are great and they genuinely care about their students. No complaints here.

Ott is a fantastic school! Great teachers! Involved and super administration! Parents are friendly and helpful!
