Unequal treatment of students. Allowing lesser consequences for physical violence towards other students than a student who defies a teachers instruction.

This school doesn't offer a equal treatment. As a student, I have seen people who the principle and office staff like, get away with things/don't get the same punishments as students their indifferent about. I had a student in my class( who the office staff talk to everyday and are friends with him) everyday disrupt the class and even yelled at the teacher and the only thing they did was let him sit in the office ( and socialize with the teachers and staff there) instead of taking the class. While a student ( who doesn't talk the staff as much but, isn't disrespectful to them) yelled at a teacher once and he got ISS for 5 days. The teachers are great and honestly, the school system its self isn't bad. It's the unequal treatment of students that make it bad.

As a parent with a child that has special needs, I feel the school doesn't offer a lot of resources. The teacher's are great with the students. Their down to earth from what I've seen and makes teaching fun. Mrs Levine is a wonderful, wonderful principle. I've been satisfied with OCMS as a parent. A student may feel different. I'm more concerned about my son attending OCHS. If that even takes place. -Parent 2015

I believe school is what you make of it. OCHS is a great school with hard working teachers. My daughter's teachers go above and beyond to make sure their students learn. The teachers and administration care about the students. It is a small school with fewer options than larger schools but the environment is more personal.

Administration makes uneven and sometimes very bad decisions (for example: ask about 2013 1st Semester AP Spanish, in specific the now defunct requirement that a student taking AP classes MUST also take AP Spanish and the exit of 2/3rds of the students before 2nd semester); Academic curriculum has been slashed over the three years and bands / arts programs downgraded and now a shadow of its former self, yet the sports programs not only have not been cut but expanded; ONLY seven (7) student clubs of which four (Beta, National Honor, Student Government & Yearbook) are not open to everyone. That leaves three clubs (FCA, Ecomaniacs, & Academic Bowl) for the general student population. Do the research form your own opinion.

I think its a good School but I hate how you get in trouble by the simplest thing and the bus drivers are beyond unfair like Ms. McDaniel she need to be reported.....
