Our son was intensely bullied. The school knew but didn't care at all, so we transferred him to a school in another district. We had to pay extra tuition and have longer commutes, but it was absolutely worth it. We encourage everyone to do so as well. No more should we endure the harassment brought upon us, whether by students that violently bully our children or the administration when they violate our rights to make us do what they want for their own selfish intents.

Think of a place where thugs go off the hook even though they're clearly a menace to society. Where the innocent are given sentences instead and the society treats them like bad people. This is exactly what Oyster River is. Parents can't say anything when the school is ill-treating their child, unless they want the administration to make their life a living hell too. The school has been like this for at least the last ten years and nothing has changed for good.

I have gone to 7 different schools and Oyster River High School has been my favorite of all. The environment is friendly. Staff is kind and treats you like an equal. It is just a tight knit community to be apart of. I am in college now and I feel as though ORHS had me prepared for my experience.

Never ever choose Oyster River unless you want to risk your children getting bullied to death -- figuratively AND LITERALLY. This school is quite tolerant of bullying, ranging from name-calling, malicious gossip, stealing to physical assault. Namely, ORHS has been witness to violent incidents caused...

Regardless of how many times parents and students have complained to the school about bullying, no progress is ever made. It’s very disappointing that the school claims to stand against bullying but never lives up to the ideals they teach. The bullying in Oyster River has only been exacerbating, esp...
7/6/2022
Many teachers contribute to putting students’ mental health at risk by assigning at least 3 to 4 hours of homework every day. Parents and students have repeatedly addressed this issue to the school, but always fall on deaf ears. Adults use the excuse that students aren’t working hard enough. Further...
