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 friends I made here were lifelong and I had some truly incredible teachers. However, the environment did not feel safe for diverse groups of people.

The teachers here are amazing - they love to see their students succeed. Especially when it comes to seniors, teachers will do anything they possibly can to help you pass the class so you can graduate with everyone. A lot of classes are offered, so it's great if you are looking to choose from a wide range of classes.

As a junior going into senior year I can say my experience at this school was pretty good. The school is pretty average and in a few areas lacking, but they are trying their best with the COVID-19 pandemic. The school is pretty diverse because it covers the entire Oxford area, and they do attempt to include everyone.

Students are unbelievably rude to the point of assaulting teachers and the principals do nothing about it . The high school...

Academics are less important to the administration than the length of a female's shorts. When you are barely educated in class, it is...

This high school has many, many courses to offer! The teachers are very supportive. The high school also offers many clubs and activities for a student to become involved in. I enjoy attending this high school.

I am terrified to send my children to Oxford High School. The quality of parents in this district are directly reflected in the children. The sports programs are awful and quite honestly, a good ol boy network is well and alive as far as sports go. The coaches and teachers are simply not invested in...
