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.

The school had a noticeable issue with diversity and protecting students of ethnic and racial minorities. Firstly, there were very few minority students attending the school. Secondly, when there would be incidents involving racial insensitivity, the school failed to take proper action to show that they do not tolerate discrimination against minorities.

The administration has declined drastically over the past few years. The focus does not seem to be on the students but more on how the administrators jobs can me made easier. They are cutting crucial positions.

Oliver Ames High School is a great school for students who choose to get involved. It offers great clubs and athletic programs, it's just up to the students if they want to be apart of a community. Most organizations within my school are very open. I am a part of 4 clubs at Oliver Ames and have never had a problem with any of them.

Yes, the school is known for its great reputation academically. Guidance is excellent. If you are an involved parent, teachers ...some teachers ...

I am a parent of a Special Education student. I do have to say that although the school spends a great deal of money on asthetics and athletics, it is lacking in administrative accountability around education. Staff being nice to children may be enough for some adults, but I believe teachers are the...
