5.0 Senior

10/3/2025

Overall, my high school experience that is coming to an end has been a good high school experience. I had to learn high school is what you make it and sense I am just a joyful person all around I had no problem filling in the blankets that the school was missing. I also participated in the Miss Overhills pageants which basically means your the face of the school, but it allowed the girls who was running to build a sisterhood together.

9/22/2025

Overall, Overhills is not the worst school. However, I do feel as though it lacks in the academic areas. It also feels like a lot of the teachers do not care enough and do the bare minimum. I wish there were more clubs and activities as well as electives. We are told we have to have a certain number of elective credits to graduate yet we do not offer very many elective options.

The best parts of my experience are certain teachers. Teachers that really care about us and like to have fun while still being great at teaching.

My kid says he hasn’t had any bullying issues and says his education is “fine”, but he has been excited to talk about his...

I would say that this school is worth the pain. I don't want to deal with the drama and seceding fallout that comes with the school however I have to praise the school for despite all that still having a selection of AP classes and teacher that make it worth it. Teachers are a luck of the draw kind...
