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.

I do not think that I have been in oak glen long enough to have a good enough impression on it. The staff is very nice even though some students don't think so. I think that it is an average public school with, in my opinion, fun clubs and good extracurriculars. Even though this school is not the best I think it is better than surrounding ones, with a majority of good students and classes.

Oak Glen High School was overall just okay. It wasn't too bad or too good, it was ok. Some of the teachers don't keep their personal opinions out of the school. The school doesn't do much about bullying and mental health. The school does give out lunches over the summer to kids who need it.

I had a pretty good experience at Oak Glen High School. Academics are very important to the school as are the athletics. It is a very nice school with very nice teachers and very well rounded students. I graduated top 20 of my class with help from teachers and the class of 2020 was very successful in academics. I give it a 3 star rating mostly because a lot of the arts programs were not funded and had to be funded on their own. They are okay in college readiness as they do provide AP and college courses. I would say my overall experience at Oak Glen High School was average. They treat their students with moderate respect and are very sports oriented.

My son went to this joke of a school for a few years. He had a IEP which the school and teachers would not follow. The so called leadership of this school wanted to put him in an afterschool program for 2 hours with a teacher who got busted for dwi at least 2 times. The only thing this school is wor...

I graduated from this school in 2010. Overall, I would say that I was prepared for college academically. I would say about half of the teachers really try to care about each of their students and to keep them on the right path. On the other hand, the majority of students, I believe, are not prepared...
