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.

My experience at Ossining high school would be best described as interesting. I've experienced so many different cultures, ways of life, and different levels of status throughout the school. I have really enjoyed my time at this school, although underfunded and miss represented Ossining high school offers a diverse community who supports each other through the good bad and ugly.

Ossining high school is a very diverse community. You meet many people from all different backgrounds. The academics at the school are good as they prepare you for higher education but also provide the facilities to help students who do not plan on higher education. This includes programs like Boces which give the students trade school experience. Overall I enjoyed my time at Ossining high school and would recommend it to other students.
