It’s that kind of close-mindedness that is completely dispelled at Ocean Knoll.

Unfortunately, it’s not quite accurate. Your statement about it’s “demographics suggesting that Ocean Knoll would be the least desirable in the district” is possibly suggesting that diversity is not desirable. Ocean Knoll is a proud blended community of native English and Spanish speakers, business owners, artists, scientists, doctors, home-makers, attorneys,executives and educators, who all appreciate our diversity and what it brings to our kids’ education. We attend Ocean Knoll by choice and have made friends across language and socio-economic barriers. We’re not just proud of our programs and principal, but of our very special community. To call that “undesirable” in the press is something I have to respectfully disagree with. Otherwise, loved the article!
