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.

The school is good for learning but other than that Oroville needs changes. Like to the sports curriculum and the culture awareness and other important factors. Also, the lunch is not good and there are few choices to choose from.

I liked my high school. Oroville High school is a good place to be with loving and caring teachers. However, it is difficult because of COVID and the small town gives you limited reaches. But Oroville High School gives you opportunities to meet new people and to see another side of the world. Many people say that we are different from other schools and cities. Overall, Oroville High School comes with history, supporting staff members, and different personalities.

Well my experience with oroville high school has been a mixture of both good and bad. Through the four years I've attended I would say there was alot more good than bad days. Some of the things that I loved to see was having an open campus, and I was also glad to experience some classes no other schools provide in our area, such as the rop class, drivers education that they finally removed and even n event called every 15 minutes. But some of the things that I would like to see change would be the way they have the campus closed up, I feel like they should have left opened the gates in different slots than they did and I also feel like it would be a great idea to have a box to drop anonymous ideas on how to change the school . But anyways I felt like my school was amazing and almost didnt need any change :) sincerely, Ruby Davis.

I found lots of support from all staff involved in my 4 years at this school. I don't know about other students, but...

Not sure what happened to my original review but I don't mind posting another. I was very surprised just how many of my former classmates amounted to nothing after graduating from here. But perhaps for starters, instead of requiring community service from your students in an effort to prepare them f...

Pretty Good excepts needs to be more challenging. Needs get that California Distinguished School to have a higher rating. Also probably needs that IB program, so don't send your kids if you want them to be challenged. Only good if you want them to have a good class rank and want colleges to see your...
