Oxford High School is fantastic for the variety of classes. I don't know how I feel about seniors only having two classes due to them meeting the hour requirements to graduate. I see benefits to getting jobs and being in school though. The teachers and facilities are fantastic.

I had a great experience. I made close friends, received support from teachers, and had a meaningful experience in sports.

My experience at Oxford High school has been like no other. As I grew up, I would move a lot, and I've never been to a school like Oxford. At Oxford they connect people and make people feel accepted. I have found myself joining clubs and having fun at school. Although, the worst part of my experience would be the rules on phones and dress code. I would love to see dress code change. The dress code target girls and their bodies, which makes young girls like myself insecure.
