While Oglethorpe county has given me amazing memories and amazing people. The schools academic resources are truly lacking. I hope to see improvement in their concern for the future success of their students.

I've been in this school system since Kindergarten. This place is my home. Most of the teachers are great. They are always on point about getting you ready for college. This school is very small, but that also brings some of the charm to it, with almost everyone knows everyone. Although the food isn't great the school overall is pretty alright.

What i like about Oglethorpe County is the teachers will to do whatever it takes to see a student succeed. What i didnt like about was the fact that the didnt really do anything about the student that was distracting other student from learning.

I attend this school and it is not a good school! We have sewage leak into the hallways, classroom and and library weekly.

Unequal treatment of students. Allowing lesser consequences for physical violence towards other students than a student who defies a teachers instruction.

This school doesn't offer a equal treatment. As a student, I have seen people who the principle and office staff like, get away with things/don't get the same punishments as students their indifferent about. I had a student in my class( who the office staff talk to everyday and are friends with him)...

As a parent with a child that has special needs, I feel the school doesn't offer a lot of resources. The teacher's are great with the students. Their down to earth from what I've seen and makes teaching fun. Mrs Levine is a wonderful, wonderful principle. I've been satisfied with OCMS as a parent. A...
