As an OGS alum, please don't send your kids hereOGS doesn't prepare students for high school, most advanced students are from Highland; most remedial students are from OGS (especially post Covid). Students easily distract teachers, more socializing meant less in class learning, more homework & struggling to self-teach - families have to be involved otherwise their kids won't learn. Many teachers I've had have no love for their profession. Stakeholders via Illinois Report Card rated OGS weak in effective leaders & collaborative teachersStudents are not encouraged to reach full potential & very few faculty cared about us as studentsThe slogan “where students come first” is a joke, only PTO mom’s kids are put first. Maybe they are the ones who are posting the positive reviews.Most teachers students loved retired due to new adminIt's poorly run with frequent fights, principal has a background as an SEL (social emotional learning) teacher, not a core subject teacher. His philosophy of not punishing bad behavior created a “might is right” student culture which does not promote a safe learning environment.OGS doesn't provide students with much of an education, very disappointing, the learning happened through LHS advanced classes.I'm happy to be an OGS alum because I can now move onto better things.
