We were privileged to be in the Okemos School District. My daughter received an excellent education from 3rd to 12th grade. The OHS music program is one of the best in the state of Michigan. One issue, however, was that only one counselor was available for over 450 senior students. Consequently, her time was limited, and we would have liked to receive more assistance with college admissions.

My overall experience at Okemos High School has been great. I love the student population, the diversity, the wide variety of experiences and cultures that bring us together. I love the clubs we have at the school (we keep getting new ones, too). The teachers are very qualified and nice for the most part, and our facilities and resources are on point. Our sports are good, though not excellent, and lastly, the food at our school is adequate (couldn't be better, but has improved a little).

Best part would be that if you get the right teachers you can really grasp a subject and the worst part is that if you get unlucky and get a bad teacher you will be completely unprepared for everything that comes after that class. What I would like to see changed is more accountability on a teacher to teach well and also for the administration to make less decisions based on their own appearance and more based on the students they are in charge of.

My son struggles with math and his junior high math teacher has been tutoring him since he entered high school. I would say 90% of the teachers are amazing and love what they do, but 10% should r...

A nightmare. It is not diverse. It desperately needs male teachers and teachers of color

My daughter has grown as a student, and as a person in Okemos schools. She is near the top of her class academically and enjoys extra circular activities in and out of school. As a parent I would recommend Okemos schools to any parent looking to give their child a head start on college.

I went to Willow Elementary...and Otto Middle School. When I transferred to Okemos, needless to say it was a challenge. However, the teachers are amazing. I graduated with a 3.85 despite having to “Catch up”. I feel like the staff was well above average in their concern for students’ success. Amazin...
