a private school in los angleles, that is saldy more know for there hippy past rather then academics. yes it true oakwood had a smoking section in the 70's but it is a totally different school now. Unlike harvard westlake, there has never been a drug problem on campus. Oakwood is a wonderful school were kids are encouraged to be themselves and express their feelings and thoughts. There are obviously druggies at the school but we have never had a situation of drugs found in a locker or cheating on test. Oakwood does have alot of extremely wealthy kids/families but Oakwood makes sure that the students arent sheltered from the real world. there are many celebrities parents and Oakwood is very "hollywood". Oakwood is a wonderful school and not to mention we get into all of the Ivy's and top colleges too.
