I attended Oak Grove for 8th Grade a few years ago and it was the worst year of my life. I was one of about 3 of minority students in my whole class and was relentlessly bullied by white suburban kids who have never been exposed to diversity. It was not until high school when the Oak Grove students were diluted by other children that I felt like I could breathe again. The worst part is that the teachers did absolutely nothing, and in fact sucked up to the bullies. I would not come here unless you are white and want your kids raised in an predominantly white environment.

LHS has provided what I believe to be an average education for my child, but not nearly close to what I expected given the school’s previous reputation. LHS is steadily going downhill and has already lost pace with VHHS in academics, diversity and other initiatives. The school is outdated on so many fronts and communication with families and community is poor. It’s as if LHS is stuck in a time capsule from the 90s and doesn’t know how to progress. There’s also a heavy celebration of athletics versus creative and academic extracurriculars. This isn’t a Chicago suburban high school, this is a small town high school that can’t adapt to modern changes.
