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.

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.

This school is wonderful for hands-on learning with excellent teachers. There are "poor" facilities, clubs, and diversity, but this is due to insufficient funding and location, which is due to the school size. The only real problem with this school is the lack of college readiness, but it has improved over the years, and soon it will be the best it's ever been. Overall, a good school.
