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.

The best part of Ossining High School was their science research and robotics programs. This is where I truly got to learn and be challenged as a student and an individual. I would love to see a change in administration, especially in their female sport coaching staff.

Best part is having a very diverse school. Respects all cultures. Has lots of in school and out of school activities and clubs that are education for future. Teachers' willingness to give extra help to students who are struggling. Worst part is that students don't have enough time for a lunch break. Need to have better meals.
