I am a sophomore at OPRF High School and with the time I've been here, things have been pretty good overall.
The teachers and students are overall helpful and friendly, despite the occasional teacher who could answer their emails more often or be more understanding of all the things the students have to do (there aren't many of them). The school has so many options for kids to get involve and meet other people which I really appreciate and like.
They have handeld Covid in an okay way, although i think hybrid could've been done better. By this I mean they couldv'e given more in person days as right now its only 2 days every 6 days. However, I think they mostly have done what they can provided the situation and the size of our school.
Overall I would say my experience at OPRF so far has been very good!

Oprf is one of the top public high schools in Illinois! The academics are great because they offer tons of unique classes that are rarely found in other schools. They have a leadership class and a criminal law class which are two classes that I took advantage of because they are rarely offered at other school! The sports are great. The facility’s could use some updating but they just got a new football field which is very nice for any one who plays football. They are renovating the cafeteria and the outdoor ‘mall’ area which will be super nice for students to enjoy meals outside for lunch. They have a phenomenal tutoring center where you can get tutoring during your lunch period and before/after school for free! They also have over 85+ clubs to chose from, so there is literally something for everybody! Overall it’s a very good school with great resources to help every student succeed!
My school is one of the best. I love my high school for many reasons. First the diversity has been great. I have had the opportunity to meet, collaborate, work as a team, and befriend many different types of students. We are all so different and those differences bring a lot to the table. I have made Muslim, Jahovah Witness, Greek, Chinese, Jewish, Special needs, as well as very opposite financial backgrounds friends. For me OPRFHS diversity prepares me to be open to all the differences there are in the world, and embrace those differences. Second fir me was the education. I know that I got a great education and OPRFHS has prepared me for college. I am a petroleum engineering major and applied to 5 of the top petroleum engineering schools. I was accepted to 4 of those 5. That says a lot. My school offered an engineering program where I was a duel credit student at the local College. I gave been getting college credits since I was a freshman. I am ready for college!
