I'm currently a sophomore at Oakland Catholic High school , and my experience has been great! At first, I was scared to enroll at an all girls school considering I've only been in co-ed schools all my life. you adjust quickly to the everyday of a Catholic school especially if you, like me have no experience being in a Catholic school. At Oakland Catholic you are surrounded by like-minded individuals who also want to excel and it deeply shows. Going to Oakland makes me confident in my future , and I don't have a doubt that Oakland will prepare me for college and get me to where I need to be.

Oakland Catholic provided our daughter with excellent academic education and a spiritual formation that has helped her grow as a person. The miriad of activities cultural, artistic, religious and of social involvement gave her ample opportunity to explore her different interests, expand her horizons and make a difference in the community.

Going to such a rigorous school is challenging, but the challenge is what benefits us as students. Entering freshman year was so hard, but it taught me that I have to grow up, accept the challenge, and finish the challenge the best way that I can. I have learned SO much from Oakland Catholic, and I...

Oakland Catholic is intensely academic. If your child is not ready to come home from school and immediatlely start homework in order to hopefully be done by 10-11pm every single night (with plenty left over for the weekends), then look for a less agressive school. My very intelligent daughter attend...

Poor leadership. Not worth the money. Principal is useless. Found another school that better suited our needs.
