The quality of my education was definitely based on how much I cared and applied myself. I, personally did receive a good education but I know a lot of others who could have learned a lot more.

The teachers at OHS are invested in their students. They're available to help them with almost anything the students need.

this year was my first year at the high school. i really liked it so far. i didn’t have any problems and it seems that all the teachers i had really cared and wanted me to do good. on the other hand, i’m also a hard working student so that might be part of it but i really enjoyed it. the only thing...

I'm a sophomore at OHS and while this school is somewhat okay the staff doesn't really push you or expect you to succeed. They don't really expect many students to go far so they don't really motivate you.
