Our child has only had excellent teachers, and our family has always thought highly of the school district. This is the first school year we have been disappointed in OMS. We can all agree that there will always be teachers that students and parents are not 100% fond of, but this year was different. The number of parents and students complaining about the English I class on a specific team is mindboggling. The students and parents talk to one another, so everyone knows the difference between one English I class and another at OMS and NGC. The parents know one English I class is more demanding and harder than the rest. We know parents complained to the district last year, and the solution was moving those students to a different team, which is why many parents decided not to go to the district this year -- no hope for change. We also know that moving students to a different team was a solution for some students again this year. While the assistant principal has been very active in trying to help with all the complaints, for which all the students and parents are thankful, the principal's lack of action and empathy is a major concern. If a concern is brought to the principal's attention, he quickly dismisses the complaint and offers no solutions or ways to help. It does not matter if 1 or 1,000 students complain about the same issue; he will not stick up for the person(s) on the other end but will always make excuses for what you are trying to bring to his attention. There is a quick answer or reason for EVERYTHING! Do not go to the principal expecting any resolution for problems because he simply does not care and will do nothing. There is no "let me look into this" and get back to you; the conversation is done! This issue extends beyond the current students at OMS. It is about the students who endured a similar experience last year and will face the same challenges after current students leave. The problem is more than just moving kids from one team to another; it is about the quality of education and the learning environment at OMS. If the district truly values the students at OMS, they must thoroughly evaluate the English I course and the teacher. The school's reputation, particularly with 8th grade, is rapidly deteriorating and will only worsen if nothing is done.

But as far as learning i would say it's not the best it could be but also not the worst...they pass students even if they are failing because they have a no child left behind policy. They treat the student that don't make the best grades like they have some mental disability and want to put them in special classes away from a lot of the other students...once you get that label that's where you go with all the other weird kids in a class of like 10. The other thing is the bulling problem is BAD!!!! And the teachers and principals will act like they care but then just send both the students to detention even the one that is being bullied. A bunch of rednecks and pot smokers go here even some of the teachers. Definitely wouldn't recommend this school for kids that are apart of the LGBTQ community or are different because they will have a hard time...but all in all not the worst school to go too some teachers are really good! Like Mr.Alph he is a really good teacher to have.

My experience at this school was extremely negative, and it has stayed with me long after leaving…read more From a young age, I felt the school emphasized conformity, obedience, and appearances. Around age 10, I was dress-coded for wearing the same clothes as other girls my age. Because my body was more developed, I was treated differently. This was one of my first experiences feeling sexualized, and I was confused about why my body was treated as a problem. As I got older, the dress code became increasingly strict and focused heavily on girls. I felt women were held to a different standard than young men. The treatment of young women was one of the biggest reasons I struggled there. Instead of being encouraged to explore our interests, strengths, and identities, we were taught how to dress, behave, and make ourselves less distracting to men. I often felt I was being taught to conform to men rather than discover who I was. I also struggled academically and received little to no support. I was diagnosed with ADHD later in elementary school. I spent hours after school completing work and needed multiple tutors because I could not retain material at the expected pace. I often felt the focus was more on academic numbers than supporting struggling students. Another concern was the religious environment. I respect families who choose Christian education, but in my experience, the school went beyond teaching Christianity and created an environment where certain beliefs were presented as superior and certain lifestyles or beliefs were portrayed as wrong or deserving of eternal punishment. Bible classes were required, and religious teachings were part of everyday life. I often felt forced into an identity and belief system before having the opportunity to figure out who I was. I also witnessed inconsistencies between the school's values and how situations were handled. There were also issues with inclusivity involving race, culture, background, and social class. Coming from a different background could be isolating. If you are considering this school, know there can be a disconnect between its public image and the student experience. From the outside, it can appear polished and wholesome. My experience was very different. I experienced an environment that felt hypocritical, rigid, judgmental, and restrictive toward young women. Students deserve to feel safe, respected, supported, and allowed to develop their identities. I don't want another to feel how I did for years.
