GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Oak Ridge is an encouraging school for the development of education and sports. Our cheerleading team is one of the best and carry our football team. Our football team's pretty good too but not as good as our cheer. There are countless different AP and advanced classes available for all students.
