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.

Opelika High School was an overall pretty okay school. I felt the teachers made an effort in trying to help student learn what they were teaching. The school was very safe and did not make me feel uncomfortable. The only part I did not enjoy was the lunch that was being served. The food was not nasty by any means but sometimes it could be kind of bland.

I love the diversity you see here. You can also tell that the faculty genuinely care about the students. They are constantly planning incentives for us along with many other things.

It was an okay school. Nothing particularly stood out to me. The food was okay and so were the teachers.
