Most teachers are alright at teaching and making students of OTMS exited to learn, but there are many bad apples aswell, who make trotting through this educational system very difficult, who don't care about teaching, and just want to "have fun" and some nail you in the head for thing that you never have done. And whenever trying to ignore it, they just get angrier for no reason, other than trying not to have an emotional breakdown, the emotional support is very much not up to the level any student or parent would agree on. The worst part is when a is strictly mean for no reason. If this review breaks the code of conduct, cry me a river, I've already cried multiple rivers from being here. Now to the good part. The principle, Mr. (Johnathan) Lynk, is an excellent fit for this school, if you want to have a fun time, talk to this man, you will NOT regret it. Mrs. Chapple is an example of a teacher that WANTS to teach, who makes learning an instrument FUN, she is my favorite teacher ever, no one could ever change my mind. Mrs. Ackerman, the new theater teacher/ director, is another example of an amazing teacher. I can go on, but it would take all night, overall I give it a 3 out of 5

I would rate my experience a 10 compared to the previous years. I'm so happy that the district saw a need in the school and did something about it.

Bullying and lack of control by staff especially at lunch seriously impact educational environment. Teachers seem quite knowledgeable and dedicated, however, it is overshadowed by the fear my children face attending classes and hand being bullied and having juice boxes flying at their heads every day at lunch
