History edit
Oakmont opened in September, 1965.[3] In 2014, fourteen players were suspended from the football team for drug usage.[4][5]
In 2021, hundreds of students were forced to quarantine due to Covid-19 after five students tested positive.[6]
Racial incidents edit
In 2014, one of two hazing incidents that targeted an African-American student resulted in the thirteen students being charged with hate crimes. At the time, Oakmont was largely white, with only 3 percent of the schools population being Black.[7] In 2015, another incident of racial hatred occurred on campus, including vandalism.[8] In 2022 another racist incident occurred in which two separate White students, spurred on by nationwide protests involving the treatment of George Floyd, spread videos with offensive content toward Black students.[9]

During the 2008–2009 school year, 200 students took Advanced Placement exams. According to the California Department of Education, approximately 47% of the exams taken that year were scored a “3” or better.[citation needed]
