Condition of Oxford School Grounds Draws Criticism
The report notes the building lacks fire escapes and the yard is too small for play. Playground equipment fills front ground space and girls basketball lines wear out quickly. The athletic ground is insufficient for basketball or baseball, and a school garden is not possible. Three drinking fountains exist, with a need for another in the back yard.
