- Old Court is a great school i was in the marching band and it was fun but they also treated us like family and kept us in line. There is not alot of gang activity and that is the kids. So parents need to control what there kids are doing. I am in high school now and i made it out with all a's and b's. They are under new managment now so things might have changed, but it is really and awesome school.

(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I gave Oldcourt a chance to redeeem itself in the 2009/2010 school year. I was most impressed with the music dept. leadership and activities, also the marching band really shined. However, some of the teachers had no sense of guidance for the children,allowing them to do things on their own without following up to make sure they were able to handle the assignment. I was mostly dissappointed by the lack of interest the teachers showed in the students. I am happy to see a new Principal and look forward to the continued progress. God's Blessings to all of OLDCOURT SCHOOL BODY.
