[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny, this seems outdated so maybe an update is in order.  We moved in around 2010, and haven't yet found "a place to belong" in the OCES community.  Socially, it's insular - you're either "in" or "out" as far as adult socialization goes.  Kids are similarly excluded.  [/quote]

I’m sorry to hear this. I have found it to be very open, but I did have to initiate in the beginning. It also seems that socializing seems driven by pool membership to an extent and that continues through the rest of the year.

I find OC to be much more welcoming than some larger FCPS schools I have experience with. I really like the small size. When we go to events, we know or recognize most people there and most everyone knows our kids.

However, I could see how the smallness would be a negative too - eg, most grades have only two classes. So it is harder to mix up kids who don’t gel. And if there is bullying, I can see how it might be harder to get away from that.

Overall, we have really liked it, both socially and educationally. Our oldest was well prepared for Frost. [/quote]
