Oakland High School

The leadership is excellent as they focus on academics. They have the IB program which is very rigorous and a challenge for students seeking tough courses. The school offers good athletics to students. The staff are very responsive and proactive on safety and discipline issues.

Emphasis was placed on passing students whether they met the basic requirements to graduate or not. Very little discipline in the school. Very poor communication.

Oakland High School is amazing! You should definitely be jealous of students here if you do not have the awesome opportunity to attend. :)

I currently attend Oakland and i have to say, the school, teachers, athletics and fellowship of students is excellent. Our football team just won the state championship tonight and I am ecstatic. If you are considering coming to Oakland, I strongly encourage you to do so. As we say at Oakland, 'OHS, the baddest team from east to west.' I am thrilled to say that Oakland is my Alma Mater.

We rezoned out of Riverdale to put our daughter in the IB program at Oakland. My daughter loves the students and the school. The band program is awesome under Ty Jessup and Ms Warner!! This school has been an excellent move for us-we have no regrets!

This is the best high school I could ever imagine going to. I am now a sophomore at Oakland and couldn't be happier. I had wonderful teachers last year and can't wait to meet my new ones. But the main person who makes our school great is our principal. He is new to the school but has definetly turned it around. I am honored tosay I am a student at Oakland.

Our son is a freshman in the IB program and is having a great year at Oakland. The teachers are strong, the sports programs are very good. Our kids have gone to school in New York and Minnesota and so far we are having the best experience in Murfreesboro.

I attended OHS as a freshman in the 2005-2006 school. The school was wonderful and I miss it dearly! The extra curricular activities were varied and encouraged. At the same time academics were the focus. I was in 3 honors classes and 2 advanced honors classes. Their class types suit any learning level, from remedial to advanced. I miss Oakland very much, but feel privileged to have attended such an esteemed school.
