In a national climate where the government leaders support masked ICE agents dragging down teachers in schools and out of cars on streets, one might imagine that the climate for civility and equality in schools would be equally as bleak. Turns out, that is in fact the opposite for the civility of Oswego High School students.
According to the 2025 OH Panorama student survey, which 81% of OH students completed, 71% of students responded that they “got along very well” or “got along extremely well” in “the past two weeks with students who are different” from them, which was up one percent point from fall of 2024. Way more people of different backgrounds, with different beliefs, are getting along.
