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.

I believe that White oak high school is a great place to develop and learn. While my time here is almost up this school has taught me a lot of things. This allowed me to develop as a person and truly help my social skills while also helping me understand how to ask for help.

My experience with WhiteOak High School was good. We had teachers who cared about us and that would get us ready for college no matter what grade we were in. Some of the best parts that I had were being in class getting to learn new things and also meeting new people and getting to be around my friends everyday. My personal best part was when basketball season would come around and I got to be around some of my best friends all the time after school for practice. I would have to say the worst part was knowing that you were about to graduate and you had to say goodbye to all the memories and people you met along the way and the teachers that helped you along the way.

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.
