As a student with an IEP, I felt completely disregarded. They didn’t follow through with the accommodations that were asked for. They never listened to my parents and I when we asked questions or needed help. When we finally made the decision to homeschool, they refused to give us the documents needed for the new school until we told them that it was illegal for them to not give them. When we went into the office, they treated us like we were trash. I am so glad that I will never have to step foot into that environment again. I would never wish this upon anyone. They put us through too much. I was a freshman at the time and at that point for anyone in life, you’re still figuring yourself out. It’s really hard to do that when you have people treating you awfully. If you want your kid(s) to have a horrible relationship with their school/teachers, go ahead and send them to OHS. They’re great at making you feel worthless and like you don’t belong. They don’t do their jobs, not even the bare minimum.The education part of it was ok. I will say that they do have a good quality way of teaching, for regular students. The students who have learning disabilities or special needs like I do, not so much. They don’t know how to handle things like that unless they’re specifically trained for it (which they aren’t). I will also say that most people in the real world also don’t know how to handle them so I can’t say too much.My case manager from freshman year was decent for the first semester. There was a point during the end of first semester that we didn’t get along, so my mother had requested a new case manager for me. The case manager had and outburst towards me once she found out. She yelled at me, told me she was done helping me, and slammed the door. At this point I was in tears. She came back in the room about 15 minutes later, while she still had a class to teach. She apologized but she meant what she said. For the rest of that semester and the next she no longer “cared”, as if she did to begin with. I received no help or care with my IEP anymore. My mother went around the school through the doctor and requested homebound services.What I’m getting at here, is just don’t send your kids here. There are plenty of great schools around the Ozark area that are much better.

Very sucky school with bad food and few good teachers. 1 out 5 stars would not recommend.

My child loved going to West. He knew when he was in trouble that he had to own up to his mistakes. He learned to respect the teachers and staff and students. He excelled at technology and was given the chance to grow his skills in that aspect and not be held back to others skill levels. I recommend this school to anyone moving to the area.
