For those who question the integrity of the entrance exam based on the failing students who have passed it; who is to say that the reason behind their failure is because of their academic insufficiency? I believe that the reasons for this is because these students have what all other students possess,

I think Oxford is excellent in getting its students accustomed to the rigorous college life, not only are courses advanced, but they are also demanding. Nevertheless, a student's life will be out of balance at Oxford, due to the huge shift of weight towards the academics. My advice would be to only enter Oxford if you know you will do well, should the opposite happen it will cause unnecessary stress and drama for both parents and students. Read less

I'm an eighth grader in this school and to be honest, I love this school for its great challenges and education, but I hate how I barely have any time to be a kid and enjoy my teenage years. I also don't enjoy the cliques that go around and the way people become so stuck up when they tell me about their

In addition, i wish there were more electives to pick from such as home economics, drama, forensic science, photograophy etc. This school doesn't even seem human at times! As for the teachers, some of them are great motivators, but there are a few who act like you don't exist, and only favor the 'A' students. For those parents out there, don't send your children to this school if you want them to have a teenage life! Read less

One thing. If you consider Oxford as a regular school, don't go. It is only for the exceptional students. The only work that I see that needs improvement is the entrance exam. It needs some work, because some potential students don't make it and (sorry) some really undeserving students don't get
