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.

While it has been about years since I was a Oxon Hill High Schoool student, I still remember the times I had when I was at the school. I would say it was above average experience.

It's a good colleg for those who want to study STEM majors, but the program can be very difficult at times. From what I remember as a 2023 graduate, the administrators seemed like they cared and would try their best to help students who came to them with problems, especially Dr. Woodruff.

They call my class the COVID babies. Starting my high school journey on virtual was rough but Oxon Hill High School still tried to get us involved. The best program at Oxon Hill High School is our science and technology program. This program has been preparing me for my college life. I have been given many opportunities inside and outside of this program. Oxon Hill High School is very family oriented and a safe place. We may not be perfect but we are making a change and learning. The best thing I have learned about Oxon Hill is the clubs and programs/sports teams we offer. We have dance , modeling, designing, cheer , cooking , basketball , soccer, football, volleyball , business, societies , etc. You name I can go on and on. Oxon Hill High School is where you want to be .

I am happy that this is my daughter's last year at this school. While I receive many calls alerting parents of the rules, regulations, and school codes, I have yet to witness the grand leadership of the principal, Dr. Cadet. He has missed 3 significant events, including tonight's Senior Inauguration...

I am a current Sophomore in the Science and Technology program at this school. This is probably one of the best schools you can go to. You may hear some bad reputation coming from this school, but, what school doesn't? Don't let those stray you away from going to the school. Since the new building w...
