dbpprop:abstract
  • Oxford Academy is a college preparatory school in the suburbs of Cypress, California for above average students. The school is rigorous and highly competitive as students test to get in. According to U.S. News & World Report on December 5, 2008, Oxford Academy is ranked second in the nation among public high schools, behind TJHSST, and first among those with open enrollment systems. A combined junior high and high school, Oxford has less than 1200 students, 200 or less in each grade 7th through 12th, and over 60 faculty members. Although Oxford is not classified as a Magnet School, an entrance exam is required for all students. As of 2009, potential students must achieve a minimum GPA in elementary school to take the exam. Entering seventh grade students can compete for 200 spots. These spots are divided among the 8 junior high schools in the Anaheim Union High School District, with admissions for 25 students from each corresponding school. Oxford mandates minimum GPAs (2.5 for grades 7-8, 2.7 for grades 9-10, and 3.0 for grades 11-12) for all students and if students fail to stay above the minimum for 2 semesters, they are dismissed from Oxford and enrolled in their home district's junior high or high school. Because some students inevitably drop out because of poor performance or other reasons, admissions tests are also administered each year for the empty spots in 8th and 9th grades. These spots are not restricted by home schools, but it is a district wide competition. After ninth grade, admissions are closed. In the past, the senior class has been seen to shrink from 200 in freshmen year to less than 100. However, recently more students are staying longer at the school, resulting in slightly higher numbers for the upper classmen. Graduates have matriculated to Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, Yale, and various University of California schools.
