School Reviews
| 5 Oakbrook Elementary School continues to rank high among Dorchester 2 Schools. Music, Art and Dance are offered at all grade levels. The administration at Oakbrook Elementary School actively encourages parental involvement at all levels. In the 3 years that my son has attended Oakbrook, the facilities have continually been upgraded and security is a high priority. This is a great choice for anyone considering moving to the area. - Posted by Parent - amart |
