3.0 Senior

2/9/2025

The school gave me a good experience. It just lacks care about their students. The administration sometimes treated us like we were in elementary school by the way we were treated. The teachers though are very caring and and care about their students. I had close bonds with all of my teachers.

I have not had a good experience with Oglethorpe County High School. Some teachers don't even teach so what's the point of taking the class. My parents and I have struggled to make it through the school year sometimes.

4.0 Senior

10/5/2019

I love the friends you will make and the memories you will keep. The sports you will play give you a new family to lean on and so will every club you participate in. Just do something and you will have some sisters and brothers for the rest of your life. You will never forget the experience you will have at this school.

I attend this school and it is not a good school! We have sewage leak into the hallways, classroom and and library weekly. Many of the teachers are not supportive of their students and the administration doesn't care one bit about that. Meanwhile admin is more worried about how the sports are doing...

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...
