Senior: OSSM is a place that I am proud to tell people that I attend, but the stress of being there makes it hard to appreciate in the moment. Just like any school, there are things that I wish were different, but they are severely amplified because we live with them every day. Even so, the stress and difficulties are what bring everyone together and make a strong supportive community of intelligent individuals. There have been many moments where I consider giving up, dropping out, and going back to my home high school. Whether it is for pride or for completion, most of us stay and finish. Coming to OSSM was one of the best, but also most difficult, decisions that I have ever made and I have never regretted it.... Read 46 reviews

Middle School Student: Casady School is the best school in OKC. It cant even be compared. You see, Casady's education is top nautch for all subjects. All though Casady has the best education, if you want somewhere that has great sports this is not the school for you. The diversity is being worked on, but Casady support all religions! The teachers push you through challenges but will always have your back. Now, If you want to go to a great college, Casady is your prep school! Its safety is off the charts. Lots of security guards and drills practiced every year. Although Casady has a pretty bad sports rating its hockey is amazing! The food is delicious from SAGE dining! Different hot meals every day! The school is kept very clean. If your a parent you can help out with field trips, sign up to be a teacher lunch in, etc. They have great science, math, and technology classes, guaranteed to get you into a food college! Finally its music and arts. It has multiple programs! I recommend Casady for you!... Read 107 reviews

Junior: On the Heritage Hall campus, everyone is extremely kind, helpful, and cares for the well being of others. The academics are great and the teachers all genuinely want success for their students and will work very hard to see their students achieve their goals. Additionally, I really appreciate the adaptability of everyone at Heritage Hall especially as we all navigate our way through this pandemic. The administration works very closely with faculty and students to ensure that whether we are on campus or attending class virtually, all students are safe, healthy, and have a good learning environment....

Alum: A very respectable school. Kids are not always super inviting. Great teachers. Kids will get a good education, but the workload can be excessive. AP classes are good but hard and I wouldn’t overload yourself or your kid! Coaches are a little excessive in their sport workload too. I think kids should be able to play a few different sports but it isn’t easy to play multiple sports here.... Read 133 reviews

Senior: I came to Harding Charter Preparatory High School in 2019 as a freshman with no friends. I did not know what to expect, but I knew it would be a significant change from my previous school based on Harding's excellent academic reputation. I was quickly welcomed with open arms and taken under the wings of the teachers. I was not treated as just another student but felt a personal connection with everyone. Harding has been my home for the past four years, and I have loved every minute of it. The workload was sometimes intense, but it was all worth it and has paid off. Thanks to Harding Charter Preparatory High School, the teachers, and the students, I now have 13 college acceptances and will attend postsecondary education for free. As a band member and captain of the soccer and cross-country teams, I have left my mark at Harding, and Harding has left its mark on me.... Read 276 reviews

Senior: It's an incredible school. Teachers highly encourage students to try their best and achieve their goals. We are considered the best high school in the state of Oklahoma. Our International Baccalaureate program is nationally ranked. The Visual Performing Arts program creates the most outstanding artists in Oklahoma. We've had students going to their dream schools such as Princeton. As a senior from Classen School of Advanced Studies, they provide one of the best educations I have ever been taught. The connection between teachers and students is very close. I highly suggest any student living around Oklahoma City to attend Classen.... Read 196 reviews

Senior: At Memorial High School, a diversified as well as academically focused administration is prevalent. During my attendance of four years I had rarely seen instances of under satisfaction and rather more instances of academic challenge to promote critical thinking. Our school's fundraising campaign referred to as "Swine Week" is greatly regarded as our school spirit in which we raise hundred's of thousand's of dollars to contribute to a select foundation. This in turn gathers the community as well as the families and students in an effort to create a benefitted, sufficient, and successful community as a whole. However, in the instances an outlier of negativity arose within the school, the administration and staff were consistent and efficient with how it was dealt with returning our school back to its safe, bonded, high school....

Senior: This is my senior year at Edmond North. For half of my high school experience being during covid, my years at North have been pretty great. From the teachers, to the staff, to the students- the school is by far one of the best. My favorite thing each year is our philanthropy week. The whole school gets together and raises money for a good cause, and it is always so much fun!... Read 422 reviews

Senior: As a current senior in Mercy School, I can say that I have enjoyed my experience at the school and have learned many things while being here. First things first, this school is an Islamic School and with that being said, you would have to be Muslim to attend the academic establishment. The school offers various tools such as Quran memorization, the Arabic language, and in-depth lessons on Shariah Law. The school is k-12, so there are children of all ages that attend the school. Students are respectful to school staff and to other students, making the overall atmosphere absolutely superb. The school offers a variety of different activities such as soccer teams for the lower grades and the National Honor Society for higher grades. I can personally say that I am thankful to my parents for putting me in this school due to the fact that it made me into the person I am today and has paved the path for a future to look forward to....

Junior: This is my first year as a transfer student at Santa Fe High School, and the second I walked in on day one, I was astounded at the size of the facility. Obviously I had trouble navigating around the campus, but the teachers and staff were extremely supportive and helpful in guiding the new students. The anti-virus measures are taken very strictly, with regular temperature checks and sanitization. The courses are very rigorous and offer plenty of insight into specific subjects, and the teachers are constantly in contact, offering help and resources. Students are very engaging and welcome to the "new kids". There are many clubs and activities that you could join to get a feel for the school culture and environment. The only real downside is the lack of diversity, but that really is a problem with the entire city, being predominantly Caucasian. Overall, Santa Fe High School is a very good place for someone looking for a "home away from home" for the next four years!... Read 423 reviews

Junior: Mount St. Mary Catholic High School is a great place to find a home inside of a school. All of the students are very friendly and the smaller classes leave room for collaboration and individual teaching. The school does have a uniform, which can be beneficial for some students. They are also stricter on things such as phones and personal expression. Students cannot dye their hair, have piercings or tattoos, and have to follow strict dress code when we have out-of-uniform days. However, we have an amazing student body with great school spirit, and the student sections at games are loud and supportive. The sports programs are also great and inclusive.... Read 120 reviews

Junior: I'm a current junior at Crossings Christian School and have been attending since 2nd grade. Crossings has a rigorous academic curriculum that not only teaches me the material needed to graduate but also allows me to find the connection of high school studies to the real world. The theater, vocals, and fine arts departments are wonderful! However, I would love to have more people involved in choir, band, orchestra, and musicals. I would like to say a big thank you to the teachers! My teachers at Crossings truly do want me to understand the topic, and they look out for my best interests always.... Read 58 reviews

Norman High teachers pour their heart and soul into any student that walks through the school's doors. At Norman High, there is a wide variety of clubs, organizations, societies, and sports making it a great school for anyone to go to! The nurturing environment of Norman High encourages students to get involved and connect with one another. A large range of classes is provided to reach every student, no matter how advanced or behind. Norman High is the perfect school to go to in order to prepare for college or future careers and meet some of the most amazing people!

The sports program has been developing in the last couple years, and is rapidly gaining steam. Highly Recommend.... Read 6 reviews

The staff and students were very involved in numerous extracurricular activities to display school spirit. The school was always open to help others in any way! I feel that staff and administrations worked well to provide us a generous education, while working safely to protect us from the Corona Virus. It was the schools highest priority to keep the children properly socially distanced, wearing a mask, and to be able to track down proper quarantined students.... Read 404 reviews

Junior: My experience at Norman North has been the most positive and impactful past three year. The staff is so intentional with each and every student. The admin constantly go out of their way to make sure their students are well off no matter the circumstance or area of struggle they may have in life. I have had the privilege of being apart of the student government here at NN and its been the biggest blessing. My role is one where I work closely with the faculty and staff. My job is to make sure they are recognized and their needs are met! I will forever hold this school and all the people so dearly in my heart.... Read 498 reviews

Senior: I absolutely loved my high school experience at Bethany! There are lots of activities and clubs to get involved in so there no way you could feel left out. There are some draw backs though. Because we are such a small school we don’t have some sports. Like wrestling, rugby, archery, tennis, etc. We also don’t get to decorate our caps, parking spots, or have senior quotes. Overall, even though there are some drawbacks, I would still rather be at Bethany High School than anywhere else.... Read 172 reviews

Senior: Southwest Covenant was a great environment to learn and grow in my education. There was always time to talk with teachers and improve my grades. The school also gave many scholarship opportunities and tours at many colleges to allow opportunities for students. But how the school regulated their rules to students became very based due to a students popular. Also being a Christian school, most of the students they would let in would just have the money to afford the education. The school’s communication was very bad, and led to many students missing field trip dates, games and other important events. Overall it was a good school to help student learn and grow to a college level education.... Read 20 reviews

Parent: It’s safe to say this school has done a LOT for our family. My son (i’ll call him D) was nothing short of mentally impaired. He scored a 14 on his act as a freshman at Crossings Christian. I pulled him out and sent him to Ocs. He just finished his senior year, and scored a 25 on his test! It was a miracle. My son got to be a star athlete on the cheer and tennis teams as well as participate in the band and after school bathroom cleaning club. This was a great experience and I would recommend to any parent or student in search. The school is very diverse and It has people from all social classes and races. The sporting selection is cool, and We love the Hero weeks. My son will be attending Baylor on a 75% paid scholarship due to counseling! Thank You!... Read 78 reviews

Senior: For me personally, high school was a simple time. High school flew by and part of that is because I got involved in band and guard. These programs not only helped teach me how fortunate I am, but also taught me responsibility, loyalty, and gave me friends that are more like family. Southmoore always makes sure that they have the safest possible environment, and they try to make every student feel comfortable. There were a few bumps here and there, as there are with every school, but not big enough ones to say the school was bad. Southmoore was a good school, and I would definitely recommend it to someone.... Read 389 reviews
