Oak Grove Lutheran School Reviews

I have been attending Oak Grove since Kindergarten, and I feel that among the schools in the Fargo Moorhead area, Oak Grove is one of the most supportive and engrossing for their students. The activities offered are vast and the classes are challenging with teachers who are willing to walk with their students to guarantee their success. The administration of the school is incredible as well and loves to be involved with their students. Oak Grove is a wonderful school and is one I would suggest to anyone willing and able to afford sending their kids there.

Oak Grove Lutheran High School has been a great experience for me. I have been here all four years and have enjoyed every single year. Not only does the school hold very key values but it also uses those values everyday to make the students lives better. One of my favorite parts about Oak Grove is the sports atmosphere. Since Oak Grove is a smaller school you know most of the athletes competing in all the sports so you can go support your friends. Also, as an athlete, it is fun to see your friends cheer you on and support you. Another thing that has made my experience great at Oak Grove Lutheran is the fantastic teachers. They are very personable and just are more like friends then just teachers. They attend the student activities including the sports games and plays which shows that they are involved and invested in the student's lives. The last part of Oak Grove I would like to mention is the atmosphere at the school. It is really a chill environment where everybody is included.

Oak Grove has the rigor of academics that we wanted for our children. The students have a wide offering of extra and co-curriculars to choose from and they can be in multiple activities. We value the faith development of the Christian Studies classes and the chapel/ministry experiences. The sense of community and the relationships among the students and faculty is so important for the development of the whole student.
