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.

Overall, the school is very nice. The worst part about the school would have to be the campus. The building is very old, and it is very apparent. Another problem is the student parking. There is very limited spots and the majority of those are across the street from the school. Other than that, the school is very good. Academically, the school has a lot of really good teachers. The are also a large variety of clubs and activities that students can be involved in.

I do not personally attend O'Fallon Township High School. I am homeschooled and am in the O'Fallon Township High School district. I have friends who attend this school, and from what I have heard, it is a pretty good school. They are heavily culturized and are thrown into societal problems that they didn't necessarily want to be involved in. I think the school could do a better job of not enforcing awareness of societal norms, but as far as academics are concerned, I hear they do a great job of pushing you to do hard things.

Admin will do anything but actually step in when something is happening. Never in my life have I worked under such fake kindness and lack of care. I've seen teachers do things that could get them fired, and they'd get reported for it by parents. All admin does is have a "talk" with the teacher and they go back to yelling a few weeks later. Mind you they're yelling at special ed kids for needing something repeated. Terrible work environment, and I'm sure ALOT of students feel the ripples of that.

OTHS will do just about anything BUT support their staff. If you plan to send your students here, or you want to work here, know there will be no support. Getting anything done is like getting teeth pulled, the district welcomes people who use school devices for inappropriate activities and the inco...

We’ve had multiple kids at OTHS and overall it’s been a good experience. My kids are in all honors core classes and they have been sufficiently challenged and prepared for college. The music program is hands down amazing and the drama, choir, cross country programs are also top notch. The single tim...

OTHS is bad in a handful of ways, definitely more ways than good. Starting off with the building, it's crammed. The halls are narrow, the middle section is filled with intersections that you don't end up making it through. The parking situation is outrageous. First of all there's 3 parking lots, 2 o...
