The chances of getting an enjoyable experience at Oyster River are hit-or-miss. It's definitely no place to thrive if you're targeted for bullying. No student should have to spend their high school life enduring such abusive treatment from peers and a corrupt administration, but it is what it is.

Good school and I enjoyed my four years there. I love the robotics club, we have worked together to build robots from scratch to compete at different levels. It's so much fun

Oyster River High School implemented a new phone policy this school year (2024-2025). As a senior at first I was really upset and struggled with the rules. I felt as though I should have been able to use my phone when teachers weren't actively teaching. But as the year went on, I saw how more students were participating in class and staying focused on their assignments. As much as this new rule bugs me I think it has benefited the students at ORHS.

Regardless of how many times parents and students have complained to the school about bullying, no progress is ever made. It’s very disappointing that the school claims to stand against bullying but never lives up to the ideals they teach. The bullying in Oyster River has only been exacerbating, esp...
7/6/2022
Many teachers contribute to putting students’ mental health at risk by assigning at least 3 to 4 hours of homework every day. Parents and students have repeatedly addressed this issue to the school, but always fall on deaf ears. Adults use the excuse that students aren’t working hard enough. Further...
