Graduated from Oak Grove and found that they have excellent educational opportunities such as high level science and math. They also have excellent sports programs and the music department was very successful. The racial mix was perhaps the best part of attending Oak Grove in that one learned to interact with many groups of people. The only thing I didn't like is that some things felt very political -which I suppose you'd find anywhere.

I had daughters in the class of '02 and '04. They have very positive memories of their 4 years at OG. I was a very involved parent- School Site Council,PTSA,Spirit squad,and District Safety Council. Parent involvement was severly lacking with the exception of the Band and Color Guard. If you really want to know what's going on...get involved! Ms.Lawrence, Mr.Certa and the third Director (sorry forgot his name) were wonderful and it was a shame to see them transferred, but I'm sure they went where they were most needed and could have the most positive overall impact.

For the motivated student, this can be a great school. Children who have problems with self starting might have difficulty.
