Ola Elementary School
3
The school doesn't give traditional grades but 1's, 2's, 3's and 4's on the report cards. I don't look forward to getting my child's report card. It means very little to me. I feel that the standards are not very high at the school. My child's work comes home without incorrect spellings marked wrong and never any mention about sloppy work. My child did much better work in the previous school where standards were much higher.

Ola Elementary School
Regina Thomas: Ola Elementary is wonderful school. The principal is respected by the staff as well as the students. He facilitates an atmosphere that makes the teachers and students want to do their very best. The school has family fun activities about every other month in order to get parents, students, teachers and administration together for family events.
