The English & History depts are amazing! The chemistry dept is great, but the biology and physics departments are horrible. The math dept is good.
Unfortunately...
1. The administration isn't diverse/inclusive (the 12th grade has zero black students, the school banned the Gay-Straight Alliance club, and straight-up did not even SPEAK to a student for sporting anti-LGBTQ+ apparel).
2. Casady disproportionately funds sports over academics, which doesn't make sense when its sports suck.
3. For a college prep school, Casady doesn't have essential classes like sociology, philosophy, or even economics! The administration ended the sociology program because it was 'distracting from other academic endeavors' even though that class is a requisite for law school and all public health/social work programs...
Anyway, I did give it 4 stars for a reason. Academically, the school is still unparalleled in the state of Oklahoma.

Casady is good academically, but I regretted my choice many times. Character is not a focus, resulting in many students failing out of college, a significant issue, since they are academically prepared. Parents who truly want to be involved and know what is going on at school are strongly discouraged, and families that don't fit the mold, (live in Nichols Hills, dad is an attorney, etc.) are given little encouragement. They say that a large % of their students get some sort of scholarship to help with tuition, but that doesn't apply to middle class kids. Some brag about the college counseling, but again, if you're middle class, you get omitted from that benefit when the time comes around, and you are all but ignored. If you are very wealthy, it's the perfect school. If you are middle class, you should stay away. The school and the parents will have nothing to do with you. The kids are mostly accepting. The adults could learn from them.
Overall it's a great school but there is a very big mental health problem. The academics are rigorous and it would be manageable if students had more time and fewer hours of homework per night. However, there are not and most students' days consist of just school, sports, and homework and they usually sleep anywhere from 0-6 hours a night. The administration is taking steps to address this with the new schedule but it seems like it will be equally as bad if not worse. To do well at Casady (especially in junior and senior year), it seems like you have to be stressed 24/7. Casady combines arts, music, STEM, English, foreign language, and athletics into one day and no student has the same interests so it is likely a little hard to meet everyone's demands.
