[7] Oxford Junior High School was established in 1965, but closed soon after in 1980 due to declining enrollment.

Each year, about 200 spaces are reserved for students who reside within AUHSD boundaries, which serves most of Anaheim and Cypress, but also portions of La Palma, Buena Park, and Stanton.

First, during the fall, applicants must submit their final report cards for the prior two years, as well as some proof of residence and a reference from a teacher.

[citation needed] The school's prestigious reputation has also given rise to classes offered by private tutoring organizations in the area, such as Perfect Score Academy and Pace Academy, to assist prospective students in preparing for the entrance examination.

[2] Students, while on campus or at school-sponsored events, must wear a solid red, white, blue, or grey polo top paired with khaki or navy-blue pants, shorts, or skirt.

Additionally, students are allowed to wear formal attire to school if required to for a class or club-related event.

[21] Violation of dress code during normal school hours results in the student being required to change clothes in addition to being punished accordingly (typically through detention).

[23] Students may even dual enroll at nearby Cypress College to take courses which directly transfer to CSU or UC system schools.

Aside from its standard classes, Oxford also offers four different pathways - Biotechnology, Business, Computer Science, and Engineering - in an effort to expose students to different fields of study they may pursue after high school.

[27] To fulfill their mandatory VAPA requirement, students may choose between orchestra, band, choir, and art.

Junior high school students may partake in intramural athletics, which include all the aforementioned sports as well as flag-football.
