#62 Best Public High Schools in Pennsylvania
Owen J. Roberts High School
Senior: OJR is a good school when it comes to academics and athletics. Most teachers want to connect on a personal level and the clubs are nice when you're not overly stressed.
A warning to incoming juniors: Don't take all the hardest courses. That year was one of my hardest yet.
The food is pretty good, and since covid, they have been having free meals with an entree plus fruit or veggie.
As far as workload, it depends on the type of class (College Prep, Honors, AP, IB) along with the teacher. Typically it is outlined in the syllabus or you can hear from older students/siblings. There is a wide variety of electives to choose from, but if you like a lesser known field, you might have one elective and that's it, such as oceanography or interior design.
Diversity wise, it is mostly upper middle class white people. It is a little difficult to make new friends with people who have known each other since elementary but you get through it.
LUNCH IS THE HARDEST. FIND FRIENDS!!!... Read 376 reviews
