overall it isn’t necessary a bad school however it does have its flaws with teachers being disrespectful towards students and a lack of counselors caring for the other students.

Out of all the high schools in the county they focus more on academics then just athletics

WHite Oak is a good school and getting better each day. My teachers this year have all been really good. Two of my teacher are new (mr. Kiiscik and Mr. Clark) and the other two arent. I had Gainey before and the other teacher is Coleman. They are all good, answer questions and help. The new principal dr. Barns is easy to talk to. He likes to talk to students and help with problems. My only problem is my schedule for 2nd semester. I couldn't fit the AP class I wanted because I was only 2nd period.

This principal really cares about the students! I don't know her personally. But, I have seen her at work. She is strict but cares. It as shows in her action. Thk u for a few extra minutes when weather is bad or traffic is backed up. She is concerned with safety.

The school is awesome! I love all of the course that the school has to offer, especially marching band! The band directors are great and I would definitely recommend attending this school, you always find people to talk to and everyone for the most part is so nice!

White is the best school to go to in Jacksonville, NC. They are on top of everything, the teachers are the best. One of the teachers came to our house to tutor my son after he had surgery. The principal, guidance, nurse and teachers had a meeting to make a plan for my son before his surgery. The teachers worked hard to make sure he passed his classes, considering all the time he missed. Teachers really care about your child which is very important, its not just a job to them.

White Oak is a great school all of the teachers really care and want to help the students pass and be sucessful. The marching band is a great program for the students because it shows their talents and we have so much fun with it. I am a current marching viking in my freshmen year and will be in it untilI i graduate. We have so many great traditions and are noticed all around between parades, comeptitions, and games. We also atopt-a-family at christmas which is fully student ran and we buy gifts for them so they can have something for christmas. White Oak is a great school and the band program is wonderful!!!
