GreatSchools Rating
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. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

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.

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...
