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.

Prepare students more for the ACT, SAT, and college rather than focus primarily on state test scores.

This school is despicable. Do NOT send your children here. The administration will not care about the wellbeing of your children. I wish I never went here.

My experience at Ocean Springs High School was good. I made many friends, and I had many fun experiences. The best part of my experience was the spending time with my friends. The worst part was the tests, quizzes, and exams but I got through them. There isn't really anything that I would like to see change.

Ocean Springs High School prides itself as the best school district in the state of Mississippi. No matter the students intrest, OSSD has it. From Sciences, Art and Sports. So many extracurriculars along with its academics. The HS football team is 23 and 3 in the last 3 years. Ocean Springs students...

My two sons attend Magnolia Elementary, Middle School, and High School in Ocean Springs. Schools are great. The Highschool JROTC program, Band, sports etc all are solid programs. The schools and the community are why I moved from Biloxi to Ocean Springs; I never regretted the move.
