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.

My school isn't really bad but they don't have much opportunities. They don't have classes some kids may need to apply for certain majors in college like Algebra II or pre-calculus. The students there as well don't seem bothered by this fact as I tried to bring back AP English.

my experience in ocs is really good when i was going they really care about how your doing mentally physically & academic wise . One thing i love about my school is they all treat you like family & i never had a school experience like that. Another thing i like about ocs is the students their its very diverse theirs alot of ethnicity´s , this school is also fun they have different sports boys & girls can play. When i was first attending ocs i was only there for 3 months then covid came & we started doing virtual school it was hard but the teachers & staff were here for us & made sure we graduated & if we needed extra time they were happy to give it to us.

My child has attended OCS and I am very proud of what my child was able to achieve academically. What OCS offers students with IEP’s is as valuable as the education they provide. The staff work endlessly to help students develop confidence while reaching his or her goals. This school truly has been...
