It's an awesome school with a great principal. The school is very safe, fun, and has great teachers. The school is kept clean, and there is no bullying. If anything goes wrong in Ocean Air, the school confronts it and takes action. The school is well rounded: We have steam classes. Science, Music, P.E, Enrichment, Technology, Art, and more classes are at Ocean Air. Not only that, but Ocean Air feels like home. Every new student feels like they belong here. The students are very nice, and it's a very diverse school. Children from all races are welcome. Overall, It's a great school. I went to Ocean Air, and I enjoyed it.

Ocean Air is a great school. Unlike some other schools, we still have all our ESC classes (music, art, P.E., science, technology, and library) even with budget cuts. We have GATE programs, award ceremonies, and many clubs, like Art Club, Garden Club, Drama Club, Zoo Crew, and more. Parents are very involved and support Ocean Air. It's an awesome school!
