Another former student: keep in mind that this is a public school in a suburban atmosphere. Considering the state of public schools these days, I would say Oak Ridge High School puts in a tremendous effort to educate and secure the well-being of their students.

... Read more Students need to start recognizing what their role is in a public school. That role is to learn; to receive the best education possible from the school. Nothing else. Anything more than that is a privilege, and those can be revoked at any time. Privileges are not freely given, and I think the Faculty and Staff of this school recognize that. The students, however, could use a little more education in this area. Overall - ORHS rates as a 4 in my book. Quality public education. Read less

As a former student of Oak Ridge I would highly disagree with the parents listed on this site.

As far as grades go, they are almost the worst in the district, and it doesnt help that the teachers are poorly paid and don't feel like they can do their job. The best thing i can say is the award winning band and choir, but beyond that with only a few select teachers who acculy like to teach, it is embarrasing to say i ever went to Oak Ridge High School and its on a fast downhill-slope Read less

I have been very happy with the ORHS, except the one disapointment for our family is that german and japaneese will not be taught. My children do not enjoy french and when will they use latin?

We recently moved from an expensive school district with nothing but the best in each classroom. Each room has a brand new computer for starters. Oak Ridge has average facilities and not every class offers text books; however, my daughter says that the teachers there actually teach better. She is making
