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.

I have had a great experience at Oceanside High School and wouldn't change much at all. The only that I would to see different would be the food choices. The "food" they give isn't good at all, in fact, sometimes it's not even all the way cooked. Students have gotten food poisoning from the raw chicken sandwiches and some have only received bread in their "chicken sandwiches".

The best part of my highschool is the community for example we don't have a high bullying percentage everyone gets along no matter your race or in terest, the only bad things is the gang violence around at school but overall its a very diverse school.

My experience at Oceanside High has been a great one. I won't lie, there have been times when I wanted to take a break from it all; students and teachers but regardless, I have loved being there. The staff is amazing and they do a great job of maintaining pristine conditions on campus.

Too much computer time teachers don’t teach and they don’t pay attention to grading. The teachers are unsupportive and dissociative . Kids are required to be online 8 hours of school time plus homework. This is the most debilitating school for upward mobility I’ve experienced.
