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 Park High School is a top notch school in California. My children have been challenged on every level while attending this school. Their course load is difficult but I know that they will be well prepared for college.

It has been an overall enjoyable experience attending oak park. Most of the teachers are kind and helpful but there are a few that are rigid and unpleasant. However all teachers are well educated. The culture of the school is very inclusive. The school is very diverse and the student body is generally accepting. The creative arts are taken very seriously and it is incredibly enjoyable to watch.

It saddens me to read the negative reviews. My review is not fake as I have had 2 children go through the Oak Park School system and I am nothing but thrilled. Parents now want to hand over their children and not be proactive. It takes a village to help a child grow and learn. If you don't put yours...

Wonderful school. They have a fantastic new principal and a new Superintendent, both of whom seem to have re-energized the campus. The athletic programs have gotten quite competitive, and campus always seems to be buzzing after school with some activity or sporting event. My kid loves going to schoo...
