As the oldest high school in Cobb County, R. L. Osborne now serves roughly 2,000 students. Originally started as a one-room school in a community church in 1881, the school has been relocated, renovated and renamed several times over the years. The school is a 3DE high school, participating in a nonprofit organization’s curriculum that partners with businesses to give students real-world instruction. Students can also participate in the school's many special opportunities, including the extensive JROTC program, fine arts courses, world language instruction and Advanced Placement options. The school hosts a number of scholarship and financial aid opportunities for students looking to pursue higher education. The long tradition of the school is expressed daily through its many student groups including Beta Club, Cardinal Mask drama club, and Future Business Leaders of America. Athletic students seeking to represent Osborne High on the field can do so through cross country, football, baseball, basketball, riflery, and wrestling.

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.
