I was at OVMS for all three years. My sixth grade year sucked and bullying was very common and many teachers turned a blind eye to it. The food is like something you would get out of a play dough set from 2005. The staff always has problems and just walks around like there's nothing to do. Teachers and counselors are not very understanding of students and don't try to connect with them unless you're popular. Overall this school sucks i do not recommend and trust it has not gotten better. The six graders don't even have building. The seventh grade building has very narrow hallways not fit for almost every class to be located there. The 700 building can barley run anything and has terrible internet and electricity.
