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.

going to school in a place like Oil City Shs was very depressing. dealt with bullying, racism and more. there was a lot of fighting in school but that's because teachers and such would somewhat instigate it. the teachers though, are the best.

The courses and teachers I personally had prepared me for college classes. One major downside was how they handled the pandemic and the transition to online learning.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my classes and most of my teachers. Getting to know people and feeling welcomed was kinda hard, but I love the friends I have made.
