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.

Oak Park has been an experience so far; it focuses more on college readiness and less on life skills, which is great for most of the students who attend, with college being their main goal. It's a very academic school, and everyone is extremely intelligent, and so competitive that we don't have a valedictorian because it would cause chaos. I'm just being a B average student, I feel pretty dumb there, though I don't think I am, but with my "lower GPA," which is anything under a 4.0, it's hard, especially because our curriculum is way harder than other schools. But other than its competitive nature, there's another thing we call the "Oak Park bubble". It's a smaller school, so everyone knows everything about everyone, which isn't horrible, and keeps you on your toes. Anyway, it's a great school with, for the most part, helpful staff who are very kind and understanding about all my questions.

Oak Park High School was definitely an academically rigorous experience but not without its merit, I feel like it thoroughly prepared me.

Demographics and the parents make this school a rigorous academic environment. Quality of teachers varies and administration generally not open to new ideas.

This is overall a great school to go to, with many different courses and classes offered. The campus is nice and there is little to no bullying here. The only thing is that it is a tad competitive for college admissions, but offers a great education overall.

As a parent of a transgender child, I couldn't be happier! We moved to this district for the education because my child is extremely smart and wasn't challenged in the previous district. I am not disappointed! This school has let my child excel in every way, and have been accommodating and supportiv...

It saddens me to read the negative reviews. My review is not fake as I have had 2 children go through the Oak Park School system and I am nothing but thrilled. Parents now want to hand over their children and not be proactive. It takes a village to help a child grow and learn. If you don't put yours...

Wonderful school. They have a fantastic new principal and a new Superintendent, both of whom seem to have re-energized the campus. The athletic programs have gotten quite competitive, and campus always seems to be buzzing after school with some activity or sporting event. My kid loves going to schoo...
