This school has been really good at tailoring the High school experience according to each students needs, with pathways that meet just about every future career goal. The only thing I'd like to see change would be the facilities at the school like bathrooms and the cafeteria, lunch lines are long and the bathrooms get dirty/broken very often.

It was a nice time. Everyone was nice and mostly doesn't judge you. Sometimes they do but I would say it's uncommon. It's very diverse and has a lot of options to choose from. They allow and help us with whatever pathway we choose and want to become in the future. There are some bad parts but overall, it's a nice and alright place.

Being at Oakland High was a interesting experience. I liked that the teachers would help you whenever you needed it but many teacher kept leaving within the years. The school was mostly Asians, Hispanics, and Black people. I wish that our school had better rules regarding students in class.
