The Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics has challenged me in a way no other school has.The faculty is amazing and very supportive. Due to the Corona virus pandemic, I spent the entire semester online. Regardless, the teacher were flexible and helped us in every way. The support system is amazing and really motivates me to do my best. The campus is beautiful and spacious. I also like the location as it is by downtown Oklahoma City. This school has helped me gain several skills such as leadership, time management, and even important social skills. I am very thankful for the faculty and friends as the Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics.
Overall, the school is an excellent school. The teachers are very good and specialize in the subject that they teach. The environment is also highly centered on academics and studying, and the lifestyle is very rigorous and intensive. It is the perfect school for college preparation. That being said, the school is not for everyone. The school is intended for those who are certain of pursuing a degree in STEM-related fields. Because the academics are so rigorous there, students will often find a hard time balancing their lifestyle. The atmosphere is also very competitive, and sometimes can be demoralizing. However, having endured all of said hardships, I came out a better and more hardworking student, and was prepared for college.
As a recent graduate of OSSM, I can confidently say that OSSM is a great school. My experiences at OSSM prepared me very well for the rigors I faced during my first year at a prestigious university. The teachers at OSSM are very well-qualified, with the vast majority of them having received a doctorate in their field. The class schedule is designed to simulate college, and the classes themselves are challenging but rewarding. Outside of academics, there is a Fine Arts program, a Robotics team, a rowing team, and various student-led interest groups and organizations. In terms of the residential aspects, the dorm rooms are big and comfy, and the food is solid. The gym is very good, and the library is nice as well. OSSM students are smart, but also have a fun side for the most part. I would recommend this school to anyone interested in STEM who wants to get an elite high school education that will prepare them well for college and beyond.
