Oak Forest High School is a public high school located in Oak Forest, Illinois. It is part of Bremen Community High School District 228 which also includes Tinley Park High School, Hillcrest High School and Bremen High School. It serves most of the community of Oak Forest, as well as portions of Midlothian and Crestwood in Bremen Township in the south suburbs of Chicago in Cook County.
[edit] History
Oak Forest High School opened in 1971 as a remedy to the excessively high numbers of students attending the three other existing high schools in the district.
Over the summer of 2005, there was construction on the school to add a new IMC (instructional materials center) and to provide more classroom space to solve the approaching five-year deadline of the outdoor portable classroom mobile units (commonly referred to as the "trailers").
[edit] Academics
In 2005, Oak Forest High School had an average ACT score of 20.6 and graduated 98.1% of its senior class. 35 students were recognized as Illinois State Scholars and 56 Students received the President's Award for Educational Excellence. The average class size was 17.2.
Oak Forest High School ranked third in Prairie State Achievement Examination (PSAE) scores among all Chicago Southland high schools. [1]
