In Ottoson, the food is good and the teachers are caring and are very good at their job. It has a wide variety of afterschool activities and clubs and is very inclusive. The academics are great and the school stays clean.

This school is a good fit for my daughter. The classes are fairly small, about 20ish, and she is known by her teachers. The academics are challenging and there are various levels in each subject in order to find one that is just right for your child. Teachers have fairly high expectations of the students but also seem to have realistic expectations based on age/grade level. There are many activities and sports in which students can participate if they chose.

The teachers are available regularly after school for help. The student body is too large for the building, but class sizes are generally OK. Interim principal has been wonderful.
