It's a very nice school with very good teachers and admin. I think that something i would like to see be changed is the way we fundraise.

Hello My name is Arianna Soldevilla I have attended Oak Mountain High School for 4 years. I would say the best part about Oak Mountain was its Teachers. Al of the teachers that I have had around the school have always helped me with problems or questions I didn't understand and were very nice about it. I would say my worst experience from this school would have to be the coaches of sports. Most of the coaches are mean and don't know how to work with kids.

Best part is the schools willingness to help students succeed in school. The school provides many resources to help people do well no matter the circumstances. The worst part is probably not involving parents that much in certain situations but that's not really a huge problem. One thing I would change is to have more days to help students see real world jobs from subjects learned in school.

The only thing that makes this school bearable are my friends and a few teachers. The administration is ridiculous and have always seemed biased to me... Really, the Shelby County Board of Education is riduculous. Alternative school for using a cell phone 3 times? That's logical. A student likes to...
