The teachers are great, but the administration is horrible. They don''t communicate with the students and our teachers are often confused about what's going on and will say....no one told us that. The superintendent seems like a crazy old lady. She yells at teachers in the hallway! Very unprofessional. There's one vice principal that's just plain mean.... yells at kids for the smallest things. I love the actual school, my friends, the classes, the teachers, but the leadership is lacking. They need better superintendent and principal.

We LOVE OCHS!! I have a son in the 10th grade and he is an average student who loves school. He is a three sport student, is involved with rec activities and is able, because of this great town to get on his bike and hang with friends. The same issues, such as vaping and drug use exist here too but the school has a multi-prong approach to address, communicate and snuff out the activity.
