Best high school I have ever been too! Oakton allowed to me to reach my full potential and challenged me in all ways possible! Allowed me to be a better global citizen, critical thinker, and much more! Such an amazing environment and all the teachers are fully engaged and passionate. It is a place where everyone can find a true home no matter what! Kids are friendly and so are staff as they do everything they can to help you grow and prosper! This school is where I found myself! I found not only my best work ethic but how to be the best citizen I can be and give back to others and my community! Sports are great and they really help you feel like a family and the coaches of all teams are truly people you can talk to for the rest of your life! I loved my time here because not only am I a well rounded and overall better student, I am a better person ethically and my character has finally blossomed after so long! I now attend James Maddison University as a freshmen and I owe it to oakton
Oakton has some great students and some very smart teachers. Many of the teachers are unable to teach to their best ability due to some of the systems put in place that limit their teaching style. Oakton is currently under very heavy construction, which unfortunately does affect the environment and mood of everyone at Oakton. Construction aside, Oakton (especially under Ms. Lane) is consistently trying to improve. With those efforts, there are frequently some well-intended but badly planned measures put into place. The systems for Cougar Time and hall passes have been changed 3+ times each in my three years at Oakton so far. Nothing at Oakton feels permanent, leading a lot of people to disregard the rules since they'll soon be replaced anyways. If Oakton got some well thought out, logic rules that were enforced and allowed for more creativity in the classroom, many people would be much happier attending.
Oakton High School is in general a very good school, the history, science and English departments are for the most part good. The math department on the other hand is an absolute disaster. Any math class above geometry, bar AP statistics, the teachers do not teach and the classes are student led. This has resulted in most math grades being lower than expected. I also attended the school while it was being renovated and the constant clattering of construction equipment along with a lack of ceiling panels in the halls created a ... unique learning environment.
