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 academics have a very wide range and many options, the school is always clean, sports programs are very good, and the school is modern, but could use some much needed updates.

Bullying is kinda big problem with the different types of social classes, but the school does an okay job at trying to prevent bullying.

There are some really amazing, caring, dedicated teachers, and there are some that aren't as great. It changes on a case by case basis.

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.
