(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - yeah i really don't get the trailers but we have so many students.the teachers i have are wonderful they are nice but firm and when you are wrong they tell you.(i don't know about the others because i only have 6. food?okay.some are worst than others but the best thing is their fries and pizza and corn.i love my connections especially health.in school there are way too many cliques but from my point of view a person fits in with whoever they are comfortable with,and if you cant find friends they'll find you.well thats all for now,back to homework.(BTW not very much)

My son is German, believes in god and he have to learn over 2 semesters about the Muslims. Something went wrong on this school. I loved the former principal more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- this is the best school ive ever attended. infact its the only one. the only problem i have ever seen are not with the school or the staff but with the kids. however the rules are way to strict, rules like no gum cewing or phisical contact (i dont mean fighting that is wrong but stuff like hugging, or even kissing.

- I am new to the area, and have heard nothing but GOOD things about the OLA schools. I am coming from another state where the school system was mediocre at best. I am prayerful and faithful that this will be a GREAT experience for my children.

- this school is one of the best in henry county. all you parents dont know anything about it. you didnt go here. im begging my parents to get me back into ola, i hate union grove. everyone is all stuck up and think there better than everyone. ola is a quite little school where everyone is friendly. i agree some of the teachers are mean, but every school has teachers who are. so dont even try to say something bad about this school when you know nothing about it besides what you've heard. the kids in trailers get treated the same as the ones in the building. plus most the kids would much rather be in a trailer because they dont like being around other kids. so yeah, deal with it because its a great school!!

(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school is an okay school. Except for lunches are either undercooked or burnt. I have found hairs and even bird food in my lunch which brings yours and everyone else's appetite down. Kids in trailers makes no since at all. And the school trying to meet AYP is fine accept for the fact that I got my head slammed into a door and I had a giant bruise on my head, and the school did nothing about it except give the boy 2 days of in school suspension. That's nothing! Some teacher's are great at OMS then on the other hand some tell us (the students) to shut-up and I have had one teacher to curse before!

- My grandson has 5 of his 6 classes in a long, narrow, dark trailer. Basically he is not even attending the "school". This is totally unacceptable! How could any school provide a schedule that puts a child in trailers basically all day? Bad school - bad schedules.
