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.

For students who are self motivated this district provides them with everything they need. Both my children have found positive relationships with peers and teachers and have become involved in sports and clubs that will prepare them for young adulthood. I have been very happy with their experience, my belief is that a shelter life where everyone has the same background makes for a shallow existence.

Some of the best moments I experienced were with teachers, club involvement, and meeting different cultural students. One of the worst parts of this school has to be the bathroom facilities. It is taken seriously, and it should not be that big of a deal. The administration definitely got stricter, but I guess it was for safety precautions.

Overall, Ocean township high school is a great school. It has valuable resources, offers excellent facilities, the teachers are engaging and knowledgeable. Guidance counselors might need a little more proactive approach in providing all available resources for students.

Dr. Stefankiewicz is a terrible leader, he too is inept at handling any crisis or conversation.

In full, unequivocal confidence, I can say that my time at the OTHS has been the absolute worse years of my high school career. Administration has no passion for students and brushes off legitimate situations and victim blames- no real justice is served even with undeniable proof is served (this goe...
