The social climate at the school is abysmal. The VP and CST's are awful and do not work to provide a safe environment for kids. They are more concerned about their HIB status and not documenting them. Then they are about the well being of a child. If your an athlete, you are in. Favorites are picked and the school does not help those who need assistance. They do not care about the Special Education students nor do they care about diversity. It is a horrible environment where being kind is just a statement they all mutter under their breathes. I would not recommend this school, ever!

With 2 children in the middle school and one registered for the Fall, I have been nothing but happy in both the academic and social growth of my children. As a principal myself, school support and a rigorous curriculum is essential. Activities and family involvement is top notch. As a mother of a special needs child as well, the IEP team has been very accommodating and knowledgeable.

If I could rate this school with no stars I would. We have lived in many school districts across the country and OAS is by far the worst school my child has attended. Hopefully if your child attends this school you will not encounter a problem that requires the attention of the principle. She is absolutely horrible and does not care about the students themselves or the parents. We are a completely disappointed family.

Principle is awful. She does not have the intelligence to think beyond policies. We are considering moving to get away from her. She is that bad.

A top level performing school for decades! It is so refreshing to see kids who care about their education. Students learn and put the effort in as teaches teach and guide the students.
