The rural area surrounding this school brings kids who seem to have a higher level of respect and manners than are seen at more urban schools. This allows for an atmosphere that is conducive to learning, draws skilled teachers who recognize the positive environment and seem to genuinely enjoy what they do. I have 2 kids who attend Oak Land and could not be happier.

This school is barely passing the standards of what a public high school should be. Teachers, half the time, don't even know how their students learn and most try to make their subjects as dull and boring as humanly possible. Most assign busy work thinking that counts as teaching. There are a few teachers who actually take the time to adjust to what their students need. One teacher I had dedicated a lot of class time to making sure we were ready for his final and showed us exactly what was going to be expected. He also made an effort in trying to make the subject more interesting. However, this is only one teacher compared to several other teachers who don't try nearly as hard. If every teacher was like the one I described, then the school would have greatly improved in regard to learning. Honestly, I never enjoyed my experience at this school much and would recommend that you send your student somewhere else.

Nice school teachers are great and very helpful
