My experience at Oak Creek High School has been a mix of both positive and challenging moments. I believe that the faculty tries very hard to make sure we come together as a community and also we have a very wide range of strong academic programs, but i do suggest that they work on mental health support more. Overall, Oak creek High school offers a lot of great opportunities for its students.

I had some of the best teachers I have ever had that really seemed to care about their jobs and their students and helped me along my career and college path. I also had some teachers that did the bare minimum and rthe curriculum felt so lifeless and easy, I often did not feel challenged while in high school.

As of being a high school, it does get the job done well when it comes to academics. But the social culture within students is atrocious. From experience, you will be targeted, harassed, etc. Your social life in school can be destroyed within a week. Want to make a new friend? Good luck. The social toxicity far outweighs the academic value. Avoid this school if you can.

I am a former student, I would say this is one of the best schools in Wisconsin. My math teacher Ms. Heather Nichols is the greatest math teacher I've ever had in my whole life. Great Faculty!

Oak Creek High School has the potential to be an amazing school but the problem lies in the policies established at this school and OCFSD in general. Students do not strive to be the best they can be. Teachers do not want to discouraged students, so assignments are accepted for full credit at any po...
