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.

OGHS is a great school. We have varieties of classes, but unlike some schools we don't have as many. The best part about going here is being able to get a good education knowing that we're an A school. The worst part is how long the classes are. Yes we only have 4 classes at a time, but they're 90 minutes long and I get tired sitting in a class for that long. Some changes that should be made are better improvements to the bathroom or more bathrooms since there's always a line during class times. I'd also love to see more clubs at our school. I've never been in any, but I know we don't have a lot and they don't fit my interest. Overall it's a great school and I'm happy to be graduating there.

At Oak Grove High School there are clubs for almost everyone. They range from STEM clubs to chess clubs. There are also sports and extra curricular activities for everyone. Ranging from football or esports. My experiance at Oak Grove High School was very good because of the academic opportunities offered. I took several collage credit classes and was able to go to the votec center for engineering classes. The lest enjoyable part of the experience was the lack of a break throughout the day.

OGHS is overall just a regular high school. My best experience is with academics and the endless amount of resources available to me to make me my best self. My worst experience is with the bathrooms and peers. A lot of the bathrooms look unkempt. I would like to see more anti-suicide and bullying prevention going on.

Freshman teachers are mostly terrible. Administration is a massive buracracy that takes forever to give answers. School attendance policy is ridiculous.That said, higher level teachers are great and most of the student body isn't so bad.
