My experience at Oswego High School was pretty good. I'm a part of the varsity indoor and outdoor track and field team, drama club and environmental club. With being in sports teams and school club I have made good friends with everyone. Some of the bad experiences at Oswego would be all the fighting and yelling that goes on in the halls. It's not really fun trying to walk to my next class when a fight happens or with all the yelling happening.

I liked the environment. The teachers I had were nice, classes were interesting, etc. The people I got to know in that high school were also very welcoming and nice.

Oswego High School is an under average public high school. While they have great teachers, when it comes to standardized testing readiness, they are not on top of that at all. They have also failed to get us prepared for college or tell us how to get through all of the application process.

OHS employs some really great teachers who truly care about their students. They implement a whole-person approach to addressing problems that the students might be having at school, and have a great team in the counseling office to help students deal with socioemotional as well as academic issues....

After being in this school I can attest that this school is incredibly mediocre, arguably unsafe, and (in my experience) pretty uncaring to individual students. All this being said, it is at least better than Fulton high school

There is not a single positive characteristic of the school. Compared to other schools, it is a joke.
