The maker space in our Oak Ridge High School Library is the best place to express your creativity side, or nerdy side while enjoying your time with friendly peers and teachers, but the librarian is the nicest librarian ever. I highly recommend not just the Maker Space , but the library also owns so many amazing genres, topics, and diverse book collection. I love this school so much, it is by far the best school I have gone to, and I hope that it keeps it's excellent work up!
Overall, the environment at Oak Ridge High School is pretty positive. The teachers, principals, and students were all generally happy to be there. For me, I think the first step is finding your clique, meaning people you can sit with at lunch, meet between classes, or go to the many school events with. After finding some buddies, Oak Ridge High School makes it easy to focus in on your classes and they truly want you to succeed as much as you want to. They provide ample opportunities like extending dates while keeping the challenging material that makes Oak Ridge such a highly rated school district. After years of being challenged at High School, most students fear the process of getting into college. However, in my experience my school set up multiple class and one on one meeting that would ensure you knew what you were doing and how to get scholarships, as well as being an email away anytime you had a question. Oak Ridge gave me a positive and memorable high school experience.
The academics of it are really good. People have great teachers. Also, the people at the school are nice to you. The teachers are here to help you when ever you need help. But, the bathrooms are dirty and need to be fixed. The school has a lot of clubs and classes. They do need more law classes and close to that field. Overall, the school has great academics but needs to change the sanitary needs.
