GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overlea High School is a pretty mediocre school. The teachers at the school either care a lot about your future or they don't care at all. I was pretty lucky and most of my teachers really cared about my future. While attending Overlea, I have seen a lot of different crowds. On one hand, we have the people who really care about school. On the other hand, we have the people who don't care at all. At Overlea there's no in between. My schools offers a wide range of classes, But I feel as if there isn't enough AP classes.

Very encouraging teachers that want the best for there students and care about your future outside of the program they teach

It was overall pretty average, academics-wise it really depends on what level you're on. You're ultimate experience will depend on whether you're a overachiever or an average student. Needs to improve on more school activities.

10/10, as with every public high school it has its typical problems. Other than that this 2020 Overlea is NICE! The Overlea from previous decades is non existent.
