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.

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.

I like that my school have different pathways that help you prepare for any career after high school, but they do not offer any other classes that I might be interested in such as Criminal Justice

The teachers and principals are GREAT with the exception of a few. The principals know everyone on a personal level and they actually want you to succeed. Dr. Veronica Hunter is a great asset to the school. There are programs that are constantly being made in order to aid the education of students.

Oglethorpe County High School, located in Lexington, Georgia, is a pretty decent school. I've attended the district since the 3rd grade, and I'm now a graduating senior. I wouldn't have chosen any other place to attend. Although I do think there needs to be a change in the way they run a few things, it's overall great. There are some amazing teachers with great teaching styles.

I believe school is what you make of it. OCHS is a great school with hard working teachers. My daughter's teachers go above and beyond to make sure their students learn. The teachers and administration care about the students. It is a small school with fewer options than larger schools but the envir...
