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.

They don't care about their students when it comes to bullying. They allow students to bully and SA other students with no consequences. They chalk it up to, "they're just messing around" because they are boys. There is zero accountability and administration would rather save the skin of an employees child than properly handle the situation. Watch your children at all costs.....or simply, just don't let your children go here.

Great Oak High School has a strong school spirit and is known for its "Red Wave" student section at home football games. The spirit of the students is never disappointing at the time of spirit weeks as well. Most of the teachers are great at their job and try their best to help you with any assignments/topics. One downside is that it's an outdoor school, so you'll be exposed to all the weather conditions including severe heat waves, heavy rain, and high winds.

There is little to complain about the school, there is great academics, sports, and facilities for everyone backed up by a stupendous faculty. This school definitely deserves the title as one of the best High schools in America. However there are some dangerous kids but the school has done its best to crack down on vaping and fake and legitimate school threats working very closely with the local police.

the staff here sees students as nothing more than a statistic. i have diagnosed autism and anxiety yet every counselor and staff member brushed off my requests for accommodations with the explanation of me having good grades. so, if your test scores and grades are good dont expect any sympathy, thes...
