      Two comments about Oxford Academy

      I'm currently a freshman at Oxford Academy. I've been at this school since 7th grade and it is GREAT. It's a tight-knit community with great people. Students are outgoing, welcoming, and friendly. Teachers teach classes excellently and are willing to help; they are almost like best friends. You may actually find yourself looking forward to school. I'm the Freshman Class President also, and there is nothing I love to do more than to plan activities for our class (2012). The people here are worth my effort. Sure, difficulty of homework and tests can be a burden, but the benefits are worth it. Getting A's is simply a matter of not being lazy and putting in time to study and do work--the only effort it takes is sitting still and digesting the material before a test or project. This school has been the greatest opportunity for me, and I recommend it for anyone who is willing to put in some effort.

      I'm an alumni, class of 2008, and I have nothing but positive things to say about my alma mater. The only people that would have anything negative to say about my school are people who were not accepted or who got kicked out. It is such a great school, the student body despite being highly motivated also prides it self in being well rounded. The faculty is helpful and most build relationships and friendships with their students. The competitive nature of the school pushes students to great things and at the end of the unique experience everyone who can say they made it appreciates it.
