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.

Unfortunately, the issue that Ontario High School mainly has is the culture. Not many students are very proud to be attending this school or even living in this city. If Ontario High School can find a way to help increase the sense of pride and have a better culture, then that would help make Ontario High School a better place to be.

My time at Ontario High were at the very least; they were good time while being some down moments and being happy to move on in my life, I am gonna miss it there thinking back on it as some of my highlights were the sports I did and the impact and achievement I made there. It is good also leaving the bad times I experienced in the past too and just have to say if they better the health of the students, then they help themselves out as well.

Ontario High School is one eye opening experience to how art and music is treated now and days. It shows the importance on why teachers need to care about what the students are learning because the the teachers that don't care do not teach their subjects well and those that do care teach their subjects extremely well.

I am a parent of a recent (2015) OHS graduate, and I have three more kids who will be attending OHS next year. While no school is perfect, my kids feel as if they are getting a good education at Ontario High School. They have enjoyed participating in such things as Tennis, Band and Choir, Social Stu...
