My overall experience at oak Forest high school was very good. We have excellent teachers and great programs and activities for students to be a part of. The atmosphere can be a bit off sometimes but overall is pretty good. I would like to see more resources available when it comes to helping kids plan their future as it is a big deal.

Overall a good high school. The best parts was the sport games and the school spirit. One thing that could have changed was the prices of the food in the cafeteria.

Going to school here has been a unique opportunity. The teachers are for the most part Rey kind and good at their jobs. The administration is very lacking in effect; they don't take student situations (like assault, bullying, etc) seriously.

3rd child graduating and I am very pleased with my kids high school memories. They continue to thrive even after high school. The middle school Hille is awful, but knowing your child is going to Oak Forest HS can make it tolerable.
