I liked the teacher student connections and help that they offer. The sports are very involved and the school and students are very supportive of the games and come show support. Family's of even younger students show support. I would like to see the coaching change for the school and maybe some more help trying to apply for college.

My experience at Octorara is that the teachers are caring and involved if their students are hard working and serious about their education. It, however, focuses to heavily on sports and doesn't offer enough in the way of fine arts.

My experience in high school was as a person who was very involved in whatever I could find. With an approach like that this school will take you in and it will seem like the school is as much of your home as your house is. The school is small and rural and both the advantages and disadvantages that come with that. Everyone at the school knows everyone else which can draw people together when the school or the students experience hardships. The small size of the school does however allow people to make enemies who you will see every day because the school is small enough that you can see the entire student body in a day. However the vast majority of the people who attend the school are very nice which can make attending a great experience.

I attended this school and was well-prepared to attend a great university. The AP/honors teachers were passionate, knowledgeable and supportive. I made life-long friends and had great extra-curricular opportunities at Octorara.

students are rude and disrespectful to both peers and staff. Most people also don't get dress coded if they go out of dress code drastically, but people will get in trouble for wearing a spaghetti strap shirt that fully covers stomach, along with a pair of jean shorts that fix dress code. the school...

Octorara is a small rural school, but very much a caring - family environment. The teachers really make an effort to get to know the students, and our experience has been pleasant. What you get out is what you put in. We have been in multiple districts, but our kids choose to come back to Octorara w...
