I would not recommend OHS because my daughter and son, currently enrolled in this school, claim it is unbearable. They say the bathrooms are disgusting and smell awful. They were insulting and disrespectful to my children, and both of them came home with bruises on their knees and faces. They had tripped over a janitor's bucket and mop. They said they hardly learned anything because their teachers were just handing out packets and basically saying, "Here you go, you can figure it out yourself." How ridiculous is that? But they both have decent grades. My daughter is currently struggling with her mental health and engaging in self-harm, she claims that it's from the mental stress that this school puts out on its students. Please do not send your kids to this school, for your sake and for theirs.

As a Student who has attended Ozark till my current junior year have overall had a great experience with the atmosphere and culture of the school. I do have some reservations about respecting privacy aswell as some abuse of power from a few of the staff. I also feel that students in most schools now value the number on a test score over actual education. Again I still believe that this school has done well but still has room to improve.

I was a student in the 90's, before the now upper or lower elem school was built & when it was the Jr high & north elem just after that building opened. My husband & I both attended this school until he was moved to the North elem in 5th grade. We loved this school!!! I have 2 younger sisters that also attended south elem, they had great teachers as well. Ozark really is an amazing school system!!! I might be a lil biased tho...I come from a long line of Ozark graduates. 2 uncles, mom, aunt, gpa, great aunts/uncles & more! Love Ozark schools, too bad I live in Springfield now. :(

We loved this school. They helped us so much and everyone was so friendly and welcoming there!!
