There are metal detectors when you enter the school. The music programs are good and the sports are popular. Overall the school is good but not without its issues.

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.
