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.

My high school experience has been pretty good all things considered. Freshman year all the way to senior year were amazing besides tests and homework, but the friends I made are priceless.

There are fights every week and the school has been locked down before. Not super fun and doesn't make you feel safe.

Live Oak is by no means a bad school when based off academics. The Language and Math departments quick honestly shine the brightest. Most staff and teachers are very friendly, so it's rare to find one who's really terrible. The school's biggest problem lies in the fact that school's "spirit" is lacking heavily. Even during football season, things aren't as spirit-filled as they should be. I'm hoping to help change that, but we'll see.

During the initial orientation I could tell the leadersh...

We just got a great sign at the front of the school that took a few years to fundraiser for but glad it is in. My kids are involved in the Ag program and Athletics. Coming from S...
