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 overall experience has been very up and down. The teachers are amazing but the admin...not so much. Either your guidance counselor is literally an angel or is incompetent. Luckily y I got an angel but so many friends have had bad experiences with theirs. Lack of diversity and a lot of cyberbullying. There is a lack of consequences for negative actions. Good teachers though. The coaches for sports are nice we just suck. Good opportunities to go into trades or college. Metal detectors are installed to help with safety. Overall good but it definitely has some improvements needed.

Overall my high school is a poor town comparing to the rest of new yoke state so our resources are better low but they do what they can. The college studies help out a lot with the development of the students. Including the College group called Enactus that help out with the cleaning supplies for the students. We have a great field and are okay in every sport but not the best.

OHS employs some really great teachers who truly care about their students. They implement a whole-person approach to addressing problems that the students might be having at school, and have a great team in the counseling office to help students deal with socioemotional as well as academic issues....

After being in this school I can attest that this school is incredibly mediocre, arguably unsafe, and (in my experience) pretty uncaring to individual students. All this being said, it is at least better than Fulton high school

There is not a single positive characteristic of the school. Compared to other schools, it is a joke.
