I went to OPMS for 7th and 8th grade and I love it. It was the best two years of my life. The teachers were great. I learned so much there and am now doing great in high school. The councilors there really care about the students and all of the staff is very nice. OPMS is a safe and caring environment.

He will now be entering into Ramona High w/ a braggable grade point average, a will to learn and go to school each morning, a feeling of safety from the community, sports to keep him motivated/busy and help when it's needed. The staff also is quick to inform of any worries about a child and include parents in the resolution. The staff is always smiling and friendly. It's not a new school, but it's got heart. Thank God for OPMS. Read less

Their computer staff seems to be top notch and their athletic, social science, science, english departments have been describe by my son as a blast. The teachers really try to incorporate real life experience in the class room. Kudos! The after school program provides tutoring by qualified teachers as well as interscholastic competitive sports.

Thank you for the fun experience for our family this year; a wonderful evening Friday and for caring about the kids of Ramona. Read less
