This is the best school on the face of the Earth. The teachers actually care about the student and reach out to help students who have been struggling. Don't let the ranking fool you, I've never been to such an inclusive and it has such a tightly knit family feel. Close Quote

I go to Daniel C. Oakes and from a students perspective it is the best school because we accept anyone, there isn't all that regular high school clique BS, we have total respect for the teachers and principal, and it is a school of choice(meaning we choose to be there). And how many kids at regular high schools can say they absolutely love everything and everyone in there school. Plus We maintain a community spirit. We are also the only school in our county that doesn't have a S.R.O.(school resource officer) or security staff or cameras, and no one gets in fights, and we always make sure our school is clean without being told to.
