Bullying was horrible for me here, fights have broken out and the teachers say they “tried to get in front of it before anything bad happens” but they literally just stand there and watch this stuff happen, they don’t deal with the problems and try to solve them. Instead they give out no contacts as the instant solution to bullying and other student problems. I have had witnessed this with the staff and the other assistant principals in the school, I would NOT recommend to send you children here.

I had a great time here as a student nearly ten years ago. I would definitely recommend it to any family moving to the area.

Horrible experience at OHS, these teachers and councilors told me I would amount to nothing.....Who tells a student that?! Well sorry to say I’m going on my 3rd Emmy nomination so don’t be so quick to judge students that don’t fit in the boring box.

Great school. Teachers are willing to help students who want the help and have awesome teacher-student relationships. Students and families are active in the school.

The strict semester block classes, no department heads and need for new leadership are holding this school back. The AP pass rates are very low and 33% of 2015 graduates needed remedial course work upon entering UW colleges. Teachers are working hard despite not having planning periods as part of the principal's 2012-2015 experiment to get his PhD at Cardinal Stritch. Academics and academic clubs take a back seat to athletics and the arts.

OHS has many programs to offer including AP and IB programs. The band and drama department are excellent. They many activities and clubs, something for everyone.

Im currently a sophmore at ohs and id say its all right theres alot of clubs and stuff you can do to be a part of the system. The teachers are nice and you can always find some sort of help but the school is way to controling with soon to have random drug testing eleagable for ANY kind of a club activity or a parking pass (so every on except uninvolved freshman) which seems stupid to me beacuse i belive they shouldent have the right to do that beause its school not our parents, even though were minors please respect were human we should be aloud some privacy. And now due to allergies they removed vending machines, band all peanut butter products from EVERY CLASS ROOM and all the cafaterias and in certen places you cant have seafood, peas, oranges or plumbs so soon we probly wont be able to have food at all. And if you try to get help or want to have a reasonable conversation with a some sort principal good luck beause you wont get far beause they seem to have trubble listing/ reasoning to a student unless a parent comes into action then they listen but before you come here please think is this the cultural establishment you or your kid would like be a part of?
