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.

Oak Park is a good school, although it has some drawbacks it would still be my top choice for high school. The teachers there really care about you and they want you to succeed. We have a lot of really great coaches and stuff at our school. Academic wise it could use some better trained teachers in specific areas.

My experience at Oak Park High School has been fairly good. I transferred my junior year of high school, so I wasn't excepting much. When I was in the counselor's office, one of the seniors willingly talked to me about how I was going to enjoy being at Oak Park. I did meet a lot of great people, some of my greatest people I've met went to college but I still keep in contact with them. They have this diversity club, I go there occasionally depending on whether I'm free or not.

5 out of 5 because everyone who comes here is apart of a family and we have a family atmosphere. Oak Park is a fun community and very caring.

Oak Park is a family like community. It is very easy to expand your friend group with different type of people. The atmosphere of activities are always fun.

Oak Park is a horrible school. The education is subpar, as well as the teachers. Oak Park enforces rules loosely, and when they do their rules seem arbitrary. The new policy that makes attendance and grades proportional is appalling. It's insensitive to students' who have problems outside of school,...
