The Oakridge School is a private school located in Arlington, Texas, US. It educates about 800 students in age groups Preschool-12. The Oakridge School is a coeducational, college preparatory day school. A non-profit institution governed by an elected Board of Regents, the school has been accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest (ISAS) since 1988. It holds membership in the National Association of Independent Schools (1987) and is recognized by the Texas Education Agency (1982). Oakridge formed when a group of parents, teachers, and administrators left the White Lake School of Fort Worth (K-3), which had been established in 1971 by Fort Worth businessman and city council member (1969–75) Ted Peters. The school community divided over proposed changes to the mission, specifically that students be tested for admissions and that students wear school uniforms. During the annual board of trustees meeting on February 27, 1979, parents expressed views on both sides of the issue, with board chair Nancy O'Shea and the school's new headmaster, the Episcopalian priest Father Peter C. Ensor, supporting progressive change. Controversy surrounding federally mandated busing added fuel to the fire. When the White Lake board replaced Nancy O'Shea with a new board chair and voted down proposed changes, O'Shea, Charles D. Butts, Jr., and other supporters drew up articles of incorporation for The Oakridge School within a week, as announced on March 6, 1979, at Woodhaven Country Club in east Fort Worth.
