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.

Oakwood High School is a very diverse school where everyone is accepted for who they are. Some of the best experiences I have had are doing hands on activities in the classroom. Additionally, other great experiences that I have had, are with teachers, who are always willing to help with work or just talk. I don't know what should change, since the school and its atmosphere are already great to me.

Long, long before my family moved to Dayton, my parents had decided that we would definitely live in Oakwood because it is by far the best school system in the area. It is considerably more expensive to live in Oakwood with housing prices and high taxes, but this is an involved community willing to pay for its schools. It really shows in the schools.

Teachers- Great. Best I have seen. Willing to work with kids. Very available. Homework- About 2-3 hours per day. Class size- a little high, around 30. Cafeteria- Worst I have seen; no seating, long lines, loud, expensive. Administration- pass the buck. Kids/Classmates- overall, very kind, good kids....

Having had children in public, private and catholic schools, we chose Oakwood based on its high test scores. We have been sorely disappointed in all aspects of the Oakwood School District. Overall, it is vastly over-rated. Academically, my child is not challenged. What amounts to a great deal of hom...
