Overall my experience at OCHS was very in the middle. I never had any very bad experiences at the school but I also can't say I had a lot of amazing ones either. School was just the thing that I wanted to get done with and that's just how it was.

oldham county high school has long been renowned as one of the greatest high schools in the area, but it fails to meet that mark in today's time. The facilities are original, the administration and staff are constantly changing, and the academics are less than rigorous. My experience was fine, but I would have undoubtedly taken the opportunity to transfer to a better high school if I had been given the chance.

Oldham county high school was a unique experience but academically well. Students were normally friendly, staff was welcoming to everyone, and administration was average. Overall Oldham County was a decent high school experience to say the least.

The teachers and students seem to be divided into two categories. There are those who care and those who don't. Those who care teach AP courses and take AP courses. Those who don't are in the remaining courses. If your child is in the average courses, I think they are in a much more difficult learni...
