Oxford is a good school, but there are some things that are left to be desired. A lot of the teachers are young and inexperienced, and the older ones seem more or less checked out. I think this is because of the way that the administration has been trying to change things over the past few years. There have been many changes in principle and all of them come in with a new idea on what the best way to fix the school is, when in reality all of the extra changes are the main problem. Otherwise the buildings are nice, and they are adding on new buildings all the time. I found most people to be nice and had a good experience overall at the High School.

Now that I've graduated from OHS, I've come to contemplate my 4 yr experience there. Going there wasn't a great experience because the school wasn't very open to diverse population that it has.
