There are many great attributes including the many electives and college level courses as well as great teachers. However there is room for improvement in the gym facilities and weight rooms. They are very outdated.

O'Connor is a great school, one thing I would note is to make the facilities more cohesive, because most doors are locked going into the buildings and make students late to class.

The school is pretty big for a high school and we do have barns on campus so it is nice to see the animals. I enjoyed having to walk outdoors to class to get some fresh air. The food was not great. There was also some bullying instances but overall not a bad school.

I had two daughters attend O'Connor High School and both went on to obtain higher degrees. They were well prepared for college and the academic competition they had to endure to excel.
