Oakdale High School gave me so many memories that I will forever be thankful for. Even though I have had my ups and downs, Oakdale has shown me that growth was possible and that I changed for the better, partially due to my time at Oakdale. Walking down the halls, seeing the teachers grow, move around, and change, watching as classes graduate and move on with their lives. It's bittersweet, but I love it all. Oakdaliens have pride in who we are, and that is why I love Oakdale.

At oakdale high school I and my sister have experienced vast amounts of discrimination. There are groups of students who spread racist and homophobic propaganda. The faculty does little to end this behavior.

Oakdale High School was an amazing school to go to. They prepared me for college and had great support for me. I feel the curriculum was lacking in difficulty and was slowly paced, it did not accommodate my academic needs until I was allowed to take classes above my grade and APs. The athletic program was very enjoyable but some coaching staff lack compassion and make the sport unbearable. The music program is so much fun, it is run by a great group of people and is overall the most enjoyable part of Oakdale.

The school has a fantastic facility, but the honors courses (at least in the lower grades, not AP courses) have students far below the honors level in them, this is affecting learning at the higher, college prep level.

Oakdale is a really nice school and the athletics program is pretty good. However, many of the students there seem to have a problem accepting new students. I started attending Oakdale not that long ago and I don't have many friends. I guess it's because almost everyone has known each other since el...
