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 have been at ocean lakes my freshman through senior year and I have loved every year. I have met amazing people there, not only my friends but teachers and coaches who have helped me more then I ever thought anyone would be able to.

Ocean Lakes is a fantastic school overall that I was lucky to spend my high school years at! The teachers are very helpful and have good curriculums planned. School spirit is high and sports and clubs are popular!

Over the past few years, I have had many experiences and stories. It is high school, of course, there is going to be a fair share of rumors, threats, fights, and rule-breaking. However, I love my dolphin pod. Students are treated like family and students thrive together. Many of us are challenged academically to a higher standard. It is truly an unforgettable experience that prepared me for college and life to come.
