My name is Emery Minor and I am a current senior at Oakland. I love Oakland. It has offered me a plethora of opportunities (for example being able to be captain of a team and win multiple awards in the DECA program, shoutout to Ms. Tate!), and I am now on track to be finished with most of my college freshman prerequisites because of the Dual enrollment program at Oakland in partnership with Motlow State. I have met lifetime friends and mentors during my time at the school, and have broadened my mind more than I ever would have imagined. Before I attended Oakland, I had only been living in Rutherford County for about a year. I was previously a student and resident of Davidson County. I am sure that if it were not for moving schools and attending Oakland, I would not be in the successful position that I am today. The faculty and staff are the most heartwarming people I have ever met and I am proud to say that I will be an Oakland alumni in only 5 short months. Go Pats!
I have had a phenomenal experience learning at Oakland! Oakland is an international Baccalaureate Diploma Program which many high schools do not have. Oakland also provided me a huge variety of classes to take which really helped me try out new things and gain friends for a lifetime. All of the teachers are extremely well trained and amazing teachers. I've been provided with many college courses, and many opportunities to truly get me ahead in life after high school. The school is also very well maintained and clean, our janitors are the best! Oakland also has higher tech security in place now in front of every entrance, locks on every doors, and better security cameras to keep us safe. Overall I'm really glad I had the opportunity to go to Oakland, it really is a wonderful campus!
It isn't a bad school. There is no overwhelming amount of homework, it is very rewarding, and there is an appropriate amount of freedom. You can eat wherever you want as long as you aren't disrupting classes, their market food is decent, and the administration is kind and listening. I enjoyed all of my teachers; I took Advanced Honors, IB, AP, and Dual Enrollment classes. My teachers were incredible and engaging. My school also has a STARS program, which is wonderful! It's a nice mental health break and essentially free counseling to teenagers that may need it. Of course, however, there is always room for improvement! I wish my school would be more relaxed when it comes to dress code. I think, if someone wants to get distracted, let them. They are clearly too busy dehumanizing humans to be educated anyway. Overall, my school has been okay.
