I feel that Ooltewah High School is lacking in its advanced curriculums. Many of the AP teachers are brand new with inadequate training. It has set many students up to fail their end-of-year exams. I would like to see more AP classes offered and more experienced teachers. The math department itself is especially lacking. I would like to see better teachers and more help for math students.

The teachers do a great job, and I have been able to maintain a Grade average of 98.9 and get A’s on finals in APs. All you have...

Nothing positive has ever came out of this school for us. This school is constantly in the news for lacking regard for the students welfare and they continue to show that on a daily basis. Very few students and staff care at this school. It just sucks the good ones into a deep dark black hole. It is...
