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.

White oak High school has been a great experience for me as an upcoming senior, the diversity is great, but the safety is a big issue. Safety has gotten better now that we have metal detectors this year. I learned countless new things and feel like I am very college ready.

If I could have chosen to go to a different school, I would have. This school isn't terrible but there were a lot of unhappy memories made here that my high school experience isn't one I would like to relive. Most memories were made with my peers or with the staff that worked here. Overall there were many mean people here.

White Oak High School is a pretty decent school all things considered. There are good things and bad thing about White Oak. The good things are most of the teachers want to see you succeed in and out of the classrooms. The bad part is that some rules are stricter than before because of the amount of vaping in the bathrooms.

overall it isn’t necessary a bad school however it does have its flaws with teachers being disrespectful towards students and a lack of counselors caring for the other students.
