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.

I have loved being a student at Odessa High School, the administration has a lot of involvement with the student body and helps the students out a lot. There are some issues with the bathrooms throughout the school, but that is mainly due to the students.

I have had a pretty good experience at OHS, but I think that some of the administrators are very much into the student drama and gossip and get too involved. I once had a rumor spread around the school about me by the principle. So I would say that there is good and bad at this school.

I agree with the previous poster regarding the leadership, however, my kids love going to school here. They have excellent extracurricular programs and alot of parental involvement. I enjoy the school for the most part but would prefer to see more focus on academic achievement.
