As a Freshman 3 years ago, I felt overwhelmed and it was extremely hard for me to adapt to my new surroundings. I felt like a fish out of water, cliche I know. But after warming to other peers who felt the same why I did, my feeling overwhelmed slowly turned around. After awhile, I looked forward to going to school seeing my peers. As an only child, going to school was also an opportunity for me to interact with individuals my age. I made friends, and even received alot of help and positive feedback from the school staff. I have greatly enjoyed my time at Great Oaks Legacy Charter School!
Great Oaks is a great school for people who want to go to college and will put in the work to do so. Great Oaks has one mission: prepare every student for success in college. There are tutors to assist students and teachers work endlessly to make sure that this mission is complete. The clubs that Great Oaks has are absolutely extravagant. There's everything from Musical Theatre to Outdoor Adventure Club. There's something for everything. If this all sounds good to you then Great Oaks is a perfect fit!
Great Oaks Legacy Charter School have the majority or the minority in their school but still refuse to relate to us. Unfortunately, the expectation that we all have to go to college is so high that it takes the fun out of it. This school definitely doesn’t prepare students for college or the real world. Some of the administration have inappropriate relationships with students that cannot be spoken about. The rules definitely do not apply to every student because there is constantly favoritism. Let’s not speak about how someone got shot outside the school and failed to notify parents of the situation. This school needs to do a lot better and it needs to start by having equality and better expectations of students. Not everyone wants to go to college, so prepare them for their next step.
