My overall experience at OFHS has been awesome. All my teachers are very supportive about my education and also my personal well-being. I have met some really good lifelong friends. Being a student athlete I wish they focused on all levels and not just varsity.

It was a big change going from a big school to a small school. Over all I enjoy going there, the student body is a lot closer with each other. I feel like the teachers aren't as good and we don't have as much resources. But the preparation for college is one of the best.

Overall, I believe that the environment within OFHS can be more uplifting and motivating for all of the students. While high school can be very stressful, it's important to give students a safe space to learn, grow, and have positive experiences.

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.

This school was a horrible school. All the staff are jokes. They treat you like you’re less than them. There are a few good staff members, but most of them are full of themselves and talk to all students in a condensing manner.
