[quote=Anonymous]My child went to Oak View CES and is now in 7th grade. I don't think I would recommend going there. We had a fantastic fourth grade experience and the teacher provided a lot of enrichment, but they left after the school year ended. We had a terrible experience in 5th grade. Teacher did not challenge the kids, seemed to actively dislike most of the students, did not teach the curriculum but seemed to have random assignments instead, only graded one or two assignments per subject area, and made frequent mistakes in at least one or two subject areas. My kid came home crying a few times, it was that bad at times. Their experience was not unique. That teacher is still there, at least as of last year.  I will say, my child got to meet other likeminded individuals who were motivated and had unique shared interests which was great. I think it was the social component that was the best part of CES, not the academics or enrichment. They would really challenge and inspire each other to do well. That said, there is still a huge gap even within CES between those who got in and scored in the 80th percentile and those who came in scoring 98-99 percent.

The specials teachers are pretty great though!  I don't think the principal is a big fan of CES being there, so that can create a weird vibe at times.[/quote]
