"Wow...after reading reviews from 2004, I want to know when are they going to start handling their communication issues because all those issues that are in the negative reviews are the same issues I have been dealing with also! Some of the teachers I have come across are good but, like others have said, if your child is "normal" or a "cookie cutter" version of a child this school seriously can't do much for them. Most parents look for excellence - not mediocrity. The school, teachers, staff, etc. needs to step up and "soar to excellence", themselves."

"Wonderful school in Southwest Austin - challenging, close knit, diverse and fun. New principal did a fantastic job her first year and we look forward to another EXEMPLARY year at Oak Hill Elementary under her leadership. Student population is now 775. The teachers go above and beyond - holding writing camps that the kids love on Saturday mornings which inspire them. While the school is not new (built 1974) the campus is large, secure and has much to offer. Kindergarten has its own building, garden areas for science curriculum, large playground with shaded track, soccer field, volleyball and basket ball areas. A FANTASTIC library and librarian that does so much more than simple story time and book check out. She arranges amazing book fairs, weekly lessons, summer camp. After school programs continue to amaze: LEGO robotics, choir, garden club, basketball and more. Also Math Pentathlon and Scratch computer club. The parent volunteers and PTA are fabulous. AMD has become an invaluable partner as well as other supporting area businesses. Looking forward to our children assigned to amazing teachers that challenge as well as nurture a love for learning!"

"Oak Hill is not just a wonderful school academically but it is a great place to be a kid. The school's administration works hard to make it a welcoming and nurturing place where kids come first. Teachers are top-knotch and the PTA does an amazing job bringing the whole community together. My daughter loves school as a result!"

"OHE has a new administration this year - a new principal and a new assistant principal. They are phenomenal! The faculty at OHE has always been wonderful - each year my son has had a great teacher that pushes him to learn and keeps growing his love for learning. My son is finishing 3rd grade there and he started there in Kindergarten. I have a soon to be entering Kindergartner and he and I can't wait for him to get to OHE! The PTA at this school is above and beyond. So many parents give so much time, energy, and love to enhancing ALL of the children's educational experience at OHE. It is truly wonderful."

"My son is finishing Kindergarten. Everything his teacher has been doing is beyond and above my expectation. I am so glad that we chose Oak Hill over private schools. Amazing teacher, staff and PTA!"
