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.

It was a decent school and the worst parts of it were mostly that there wasn't much diversity and the school system. It seemed a bit unfair and a tad bit more complicated than other schools. Teachers differentiated on work and I was often crowded with many assignment daily. Otherwise some classes were very enjoyable and manageable with amazing understanding teachers.

I would like the counselors to actually help us through the college application process from the beginning of our freshman year. As a junior, I feel unready and a little worried about my future applications because I don't really know what's required of me for college applications.

The best parts are being able to meet people and have connections, and the worst part is the time that school starts. What i would like to see change is the time that we start school and go back to the way it used to be and make the people in school less weird.

I have had 2 children graduate from OJR. I could be happier with their education and the opportunities awarded to them. My one child has an IEP and his support teacher has been over the top. Communicating with him, myself and other personnel. She has helped him identify strategies that work for him-...
