This School’s Reviews

5.0 Freshman

8/20/2020

I love fortosage!!!, I couldn't have asked for a better school district to grow up in. The school board generally hires great teachers. The atmosphere in all the schools is comfortable but still a place where students can work digitally. Once in highschool there are many sports options such as football, soccer, cheerleading etc. Fortosage highschool also has a variety of career based classes that will help prime students for future jobs and occupations. All and all the whole district is amazing with great teachers, classes, and sports.

I liked that Fort Osage has the CTC right across the street and allows for students to have more career opportunities however I feel like for this reason security is severely lacking as well as the dress code is unnecessarily strict.

2.0 Works Here

5/13/2020

Academics are a joke here. The students could never compete with neighboring districts. Students have no consequences for bad behavior and admin allows them to do whatever they want. Teachers are nice, but not welcoming. Most are imitated by a teacher that actually knows how to teach.
