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.

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 WOULD SAY THE BEST PART IS THE EDUCATIONAL DIVERSITY AND THE ABILITY TO LEARN IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. THE ONLY NEGATIVE THING WOULD BE THAT THE SCHOOL ITSELF IS NOT REALLY DIVERSE IN THE STUDENT POPULATION.

I have enjoyed my experience at Oak Creek Highschool, however there are a couple thing that I would wish to see change in the future, like the safety of students and staff. I feel our school is extremely unsafe and anyone could enter the building at any point.

My high school experience was weird due to my Freshman and Sophomore year being affected by Covid-19. During the Covid years of high school it was very difficult to enjoy anything. During that time it felt like nothing was really prepared and everything that we did was just a spur in the moment kind of thing. Once we returned to in person school you could tell that the teachers and admin were actually trying to return things to normal. My best experience in high school had to be the marching band. The Oak Creek Marching Knights gave me a lot of great memories. I got to make a lot of life long friendships through the band program.

I graduated in 2012 and I loved school here. I came from a very small private school and I loved all of the options I had when I went to Oak Creek. I love all of the AP courses and advanced courses I could choose from and the choir program was truly amazing and it was where I found my niche and one...
