It's fine. Nothing really special. Doesn't suck. They have great chicken patties ngl. Their clubs have bad funding. Their music program is actually really good so shoutout to the choir and band teacher.

But anyway, the teachers were good some were nice, kind, respectful, supportive, etc. While, oth...

When there are fights and the kid is in the next class, makes many think that fights are okay (along with many other behavior issues). As much as I enjoy this school, I am sure I am not being...

This school is TRASHY. They don't care about anybody's feelings or opinions. I'm a student and I don't even wan't to go to school anymore. I don't feel safe. DO NOT, consider this school as a choice for your children.

Both my son and daughter attended this school. My kids both were in sports and clubs. My daughter is going to be a Freshman at Oswego East and is prepared and excited. The teachers are so supportive and I thank you for the great job you did for my family.
