[quote=Anonymous]I have two who went through Oakridge. For the oldest, the experience was mostly good. Strong academics and strong community support. Things started going sideway ~5-6 years ago, when the principal started to implement more progressive ideas. First, they ended homework. They adopted a terrible reading curriculum which they then realized was actively harming the students. Then they ended grades. Students now get a standards-based report card with "M"s, "E"s, etc. Teacher absenteeism (even pre-pandemic) was terrible. I don't think this is unique to Oakridge, though. This seems to be an APS-wide issue.[/quote]
