Goodness, the previous review seems a bit over the top. Something to keep in mind when choosing a private school option is that, indeed, not all students fit the mission of the school, which is to provide a strong academic background for a student intent on pursuing higher education. Along with that, Oak Hill provides a rich artistic and PE curriculum, so that it truly allows a child to develop along all the lines which lead towards productive adulthood. The previous reviewer seems to have some sour grapes to express which make me wonder if their view is skewed by, perhaps, having a child who was not able to function effectively in a rich and varied environment. A school cannot be everything to everyone, and I have to disagree with the statements about the headmaster, who is a lovely, hard working and dedicated professional, and with the comments about the board, who give generously of their time and talent to grow this community. When I enrolled my children, ten years ago, we had hal more

disappointed 9/11/2012

Although it is true the teachers and staff are generally excellent-- the headmaster, parent council, school community, and board are a disaster. The headmaster is sexist and arrogant with much to be desired in the way of people skills. The board is self appointed with the most wealthy parents dominating and pushing through unpopular agendas. Lots of unethical politics that are not tolerated in public schools with no avenue of recourse as the headmaster receives perks from lead families.\r Sadly, Oak Hill does not fulfill it's promise as a premier institution. For the money spent on tuition one can supplement a public education and save for college -- without the nonsense. more

Loved Every Minute 6/16/2010

We are ardent supporters of public education, but our smart, well-behaved girl was getting lost in the shuffle in the hands of otherwise very competent and dedicated public school teachers. Worried that she wasn't getting the skills and attention she needed, we decided to visit Oak Hill School.\r \r Prior to visiting, we were worried that Oak Hill would be a snooty place or that it would be too pressurized and imbalanced of an academic environment. However, our fears were immediately dispelled at our site visit and our hopes were confirmed very soon after our daughter began her fifth grade year. The tuition is a huge stretch for us, but we have not regretted a single dime that we have spent and we signed up for sixth grade without hesitation.\r \r Why? The teachers are amazingly dedicated and all of the ones with whom I have spoken are so grateful for the manageable class sizes and the relief from the constant, excessive standardized testing. In addition to challenging reading, math, and s more

Worth Looking Into 3/7/2010

Small, private school with low student to teacher ratio. A great place for accelerated independent learners. more

An Unfortunate Disappointment 5/3/2007

An utterly horrendous institution, hardly worthy of any title proclaiming it a school. A truly unfortunate disappointment. Such potential, squandered by such incompetence. more

Excellent 11/30/2005

The teacher to student ration at this school is very low which helps make for a quality education. Their location is rural but close to the city. The tuition is fairly outrageous but they do offer some scholarships to qualified individuals. I would recommend this school to anyone who can afford it. I appreciated the tour they gave me when I visited. more

Private School 10/31/2005

This school offers a quality education with small teacher student ratio. The grounds are very nice and the school is located next to Lane Community College. The tuition is high as is to be expected with a private high school. more
