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 like the opportunities for different classes. I love how they are very helpful with helping their students gain scholarships and find ways to help make students not as scared to go out into the real world. They offer good AP classes also. I would like them to change how tough they are on their students. Sometimes the teachers put so much pressure on their students that it can make us very stressed.

The people and the atmosphere is extremely welcoming and there never ended up being any terrible turmoil or massive negative experiences that ruined my time. I enjoyed coming each day and there were great people that were able to raise themselves up with their peers. I would only wish for more opportunities to be available for the students as there aren't a lot of AP classes and the clubs that are active are usually poorly maintained as the majority of efforts went towards sports.

I've had numerous memories that I will cherish for a long time, and many of the teachers I've had were very supportive and always there to provide help. One thing I would like to see change is in remodeling the bathrooms to a larger size or constructing more of them in the future.

The kids around this town are just not raised with any humility and its a town full of gossip and mean people. The teachers don't listen to the students and the parents don't correct th...

OHS is the best it has ever been! Student and staff morale is positive. The enrollment is the highest it has ever been! Our principal is transparent and involving students and staff with decisions that can be made by all. We love OHS-Big O!!!

I currently attend OHS and the school is great. It may not seem it at first, a small country school in the middle of nowhere. The sports teams are fantastic and the teachers are all pretty good at what they do. Some people complain about the administration, but I've never had any problems with them....
