Live Oak Elementary School
Katrina: My daughter attending another elementary school, which I was crazy about, and had hoped my son would attend the same school. Live Oak was built and the school zone changed. I now feel the same way about this school as my daughter's. The teachers are so knowledgable, kind, and patient. I appreciate the attention they show to kids who learn differently. You can really tell that they are truly concerned for the kids well being.

Heather L Jackson: I am new to the area as of June 28th, 2010. I was not only impressed but blown away by the principal, front office staff and teachers and Live Oak. During Back to School this past Sunday, the Principal took time to acknowledge each and every student that she came in contact with in the front office.
As an educator myself, I have seen many schools throughout our military moves from school to school. The front office staff is by far the BEST that I have encountered. I have to rate them the highest yet!!!!
Thank you Live Oak elementary for making my transition a comfortable one. You obviously go above and beyond the top. I look forward to having my girls attend this wonderful school.
Warmest Wishes,
Heather Jackson and family
