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.

Oark School is a very small school. That comes with perks and downfalls. There is a sense of community at Oark you will never forget. But it being so small everyone knows everyone and sometimes you just wish you didn't know everyone, at least that's how I feel going there. Overall I love Oark it will always be my home.

There are "poor" facilities, clubs, and diversity, but this is due to insufficient funding and location, which is due to the school size.
