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.

When I moved to Oroville High school in April 2022 near the end of my sophomore year, I didn't feel like many people made me feel welcomed or spoke to me. In my junior year i met some nice people in my classes who made me more comfortable at Oroville high and i am grateful to them.

I believe that Oroville High School is average; it has its good and it has its bad. The teachers are amazing and the school spirit is pretty great. However there are a lot of issues with some of the students and there are a few things I would update in the restrooms and classrooms such as the speakers and locks.

The teachers are great, they really care about student's well being and will help them if they're failing their class. The staffs are also great, every staff really care about the students and will often be seen out about talking with students and waving hello. The school is kinda small and so there isn't much opportunities or classes, if you're looking for something specific, but I'd say there is still a lot you can still do if you can't find what you're looking for.

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...
