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.

I really enjoyed my history teachers, as they all showed passion and dedication to their work. A place of improvement would be the amount of smoking on campus.

Great Oak has given me the ability to be prepared for my future college education by pushing students to try to take harder classes. These classes will open multiple doors for me in the future. However despite more opportunities it pushes students to take classes they are not ready for.
