ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS
WHO WILL BE TAKING A REGENTS EXAM:
Per the State Education Department:

Per the State Education Department:
There is a change in the Regents electronic policy for the administration of the June Regents. As a result, all students are prohibited from bringing cell phones and other electronic devices into a classroom or any other location during test week. Admission to the test shall be denied to any student who is in possession of a cell phone or other prohibited electronic device and refuses to relinquish it. If you keep a cell phone or other electronic device with you, your Regents exam will be invalidated and you will get no score. Please avoid this scenario by leaving these devices home. We all understand how we depend on our phones and other devices. However, we and you cannot run the risk of having your Regents exam invalidated and your course grades negatively impacted. Parents...if you need to communicate with your child in the event of an emergency, you can call the main office.

ATTENTION ALL RESIDENTS:

If you are not already receiving phone calls from our automated phone system and would like to be included, please call Donna Kraus at 678-7525.

Once again, Oceanside High School has fared well in Newsweek's annual ranking of high schools. In their listing of public, private and charter schools, we ranked #463 nationally. This places us in the top 1.5% nationally.
Newsweek feels that their list is an accurate representation of a school's ability to turn out college ready graduates. The methodology that they employ is as follows:
The list is based on six components: graduation rate (25 percent), college acceptance rate (25 percent), AP/IB/AICE tests taken per student (25 percent), average SAT/ACT scores (10 percent), average AP/IB/AICE scores (10 percent), and percent of students enrolled in at least one AP/IB/AICE course (5 percent).
