My best experiences at Ada High school have been with the teachers, and the extracurricular activities. They have provided me with the materials to complete my assignments in class and assist me after school, which does help as I don't have neither internet or time after work to complete them. The school lunch is mostly subpar, but at time we do get decent meals so it isn't the worst. Other students do more extracurricular activities than me so I don't have the most knowledge in that category, but I do know that others do reap benefits from joining those activities.

great teachers that give great instruction to make me a better student. Ada High has everything you need in a high school, from off campus lunch to having the opportunity to take concurrent classes. I believe that I grew as a student and as a student and as a person. all the staff at Ada High School will work before and after school to make sure you understand all topics that they went over in class. Even the city that Ada High is located is a great place. Ada has many restaurants to eat at, as well as a movie theater. It's not a big town at all, but you have a great school system in it. I will always have a place in my heart for Ada High, because this is where I made all my memories growing up. This place is the best town in Oklahoma. The school system helped me to be able to apply, and get accepted, to Oklahoma State University. Ada has had a history of people going to big colleges, that's is the result from a great teaching staff and a great school district. Go cougars!!!!

Ada high school is an amazing school. All of the teachers care about you, and want to see you succeed. I have loved going to Ada city schools my whole life. They are so involved with all of their students, and they are always trying to do activities to make high school fun. A lot of the activities come from student council. I would recommend coming to Ada high so you can be apart of all the fun activities and spend your class time with teachers who actually care about you, and want to listen to you. We were ranked 25th best school in Oklahoma and I agree, it is the best school to attend.

This school is basically a popularity contest that begins with the teachers. The teachers (if you want to call them that) are severely lacking in their own education so how would they be able to teach your children? I graduated from this school and was totally unprepared for college even with a 3.75...

This school is a joke academically.. AP courses require no extra effort, teachers are too lenient on work, and the curriculum is way, way behind.. I moved schools my senior year to a better school (academically) and am struggling in non-AP classes. Other things are focused on at this school-- tattli...

I attended Ada High and found the school to be a great school. I felt very well prepared for college and had no problem with the transition from high school to college academically. Sports (football) is overemphasized but brings the entire school together. I now have 2 kids and I wouldn't send them...

Seriously... This site had Ada rated at an 8 and Latta at a 7. I moved both of my kids from Ada to Latta. One was struggling simple because she had teachers who did not care. The other was an 'AP' student. At Latta the one who was AP works to keep an A/B average. The one who was struggling got the h...
