Oakridge International School, Bangalore, is one of the worst schools to send your child to. I studied there for 5 years, the first 2 years after I joined, the school's management changed, and the teachers started leaving(I had a different math teacher every year). Some of the problems I faced during my time there:
The teachers showed personal bias toward the teacher( I will be listing the names below). Like one of my friends asked a question and the teacher replied, "I am not here to teach only you, I have other students to teach". There was a lot of targeting of students based on personal bias or some other issue.
The bullying was very bad; I had to get therapy sessions due to the intense bullying that I went through in that school. See, bullying is there in all schools, but Oakridge International School, Bangalore, had the worst. Like if I tried telling the teachers, I would be tagged as the "snitch", and if I did end up telling the teachers, they would just not do anything, and the bullying continues. If someone tries to relate to the bullying, they would target. I have heard from teachers in my new school that students who come from Oakridge International School had " intense trauma, " and it was just hard to believe.
The principal(2019-2025), P@lavi Misr@(don't want to get in legal trouble), was one of the worst, not just as a principal but as a person, I would say. The majority of the school was against the decision she made. She completely changed the school that we had first seen back in 2017. She fired many good teachers and decreased the pay(maybe not fully true). One major thing that the entire school noticed but wasn't brave enough to share was that she showed bias toward her own daughter studying at the same school. I mean, if it were something small, it would be fine, I guess. But it was unfair to her classmates, and no one could really say anything. One incident that really stands out is when the principal called the entire grade into the auditorium and lectured us about "dating", and how it is not allowed in school, she said, "you guys don't have the license to like". While at the same time, her daughter was busy "dating" guys in her grade.
A recent incident that took place in the school was a student using pictures of girls and creating inappropriate deepfake images. Such behaviour is found in this school, and such secrets stay hidden.
The school didn't teach well, since many good teachers left the school due to pressure, were fired. The PE teachers had to become class teachers due to staff shortage. Since the depth of teaching is very poor, you will need extra tuition. According to the principal, you are supposed to take tuition. Then what's the point of coming to school?
The fees of the school increased year by year; I can't blame them, but the level and the quality of the school decreased by a large margin; the lunch they serve is of very bad quality.
The sports, gotten very bad in the past few years. After paying huge fees, they have no football teams, no cricket teams, and they only had 1 good coach.
The teachers had politics, which led to them leaving or not performing well.
This school has students, v@pe, use alc0hol and other substances.
The school said they would add a counsellor, and would have weekly sessions, but she ended up taking 1 session the entire year and was pretty much useless
The school buses are in such poor condition, and there was an incident with a drunk driver that caused an issue on the road.
Finally, all the ratings, comments, and reviews are fake. They force parents into doing so, and some are just fake accounts.
You can choose not to believe it; I don't really care if you do or not. I am just sharing my experience. And please do not send your child to this school.

I would like to state this again: if I could rate this school, I would rate it below 0.1/5, but they got lucky.
PC: My previous review got 30 likes(the highest in their review section), but they have turned off their reviews due to all the bad reviews they received.
