[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oak Hill is a center school so I would expect that there is some type of AAP/Gen Ed issues.

My kids went through, and not really. The school is about 1/2 and half and integrated well. There were enough AAP classes that the same kids weren’t together year after year.  My kid’s friend group didn’t change when she tracked into AAP, and a decent number of AAP Oak Hill kids chose to go to Franklin rather than Carson for social reasons.  Lots of kids did scouting, drama, music, sports and stayed connected to their peer groups.    I liked the set up better than starting at a based school and having to switch in 3rd grade.

Now, my youngest was there under the former principal, who went on to RRMS. I believe the asst Orincipal took over and she was great as well.

We moved from a more affluent part of the county and I liked that the parents (often mom and dad) were very involved with their kids and were generally down to Earth.  Lots of Feds, tech workers, teachers, lawyers, etc.  DD and her friends drove hand me down cars and used hand me down iPhones starting in MS. I was surprised at how limited the social media use was,, but maybe that’s just my kids and their friends. [/quote]
