Graduated 2012. OHS is one of, if not the worst high school in the area. Only a handful of teachers actually seem to care about teaching, and even less care about respecting school rules. I have actually had teachers who said "you can have your cell phones out as long as I'm not teaching and as long as there isn't an administrator looking in the window." This was back when cell phones were banned in the classroom, and I think that rule might've changed by this point. The students definitely don't care about school rules, and the teachers don't really care either. However, there are a few really great teachers there.
By the time I graduated, I felt like I had learned nothing that would prepare me for college or the real world. I struggled in college because I had never needed to do much before to guarantee myself an A in class. My senior year and after I left, they were trying to seriously change the school so it would perform better academically. I don't know how they've done, but based on what I've been told by students there, not well.
There are a lot of teachers and faculty who have done questionable things outside of school, not just at OHS, but in the whole of Manassas City Public Schools. Most charges are sexual in nature, but there are a few other charges in the mix, like drug related charges. How these people are able to be hired is beyond me.
One final note: OSBOURN HIGH SCHOOL AND OSBOURN PARK HIGH SCHOOL ARE TWO DIFFERENT HIGH SCHOOLS IN TWO DIFFERENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS! read more
