Oak Ridge is a very challenging but rewarding school with some amazing teachers. It prides itself with being one of the best schools in our area. Along with the best school leads to tough classes with lots of homework. They push very hard for everyone to go to college even though many of them want to go into trade schools or the military instead. Many parts of the school are old resulting in ceiling leaks, bad smells, and bats as well.

There are a lot of opportunities at this school in all fields We are so fortunate to have a robust arts program. The staff is stellar. The facilities were renovated recently; although there can be some variety in temperature.

Teachers that care, academics that challenge, and a peer group of (mostly) intelligent and decent people. A stem school that still cares deeply about fine arts and hosts, in my opinion, the best band around.

The educational aspect of Oak Ridge High School is excellent. Most teachers prioritize their students, yet being a public school, it is more intimidating than other high schools in the area. Despite that, my overall experience playing sports and attending school here definitely improved my college readiness.

I like that the school has many options for course work and that the school has several options as well for sports. The school itself is very diverse and provides STEM curriculum.

I've really enjoyed my experience at ORHS. It has so many opportunities to take challenging classes, both AP and DE. There are lots of fun clubs to join, like Philosophy Club and sports to play, like tennis. We have good orchestra, band and chorus programs, involving many competitions and fun trips. My favorite part of ORHS has definitely been the teachers. Teachers here really care about their students and go above and beyond to help them succeed. Many come in early to help students with homework, and on top of that will le... read more
