3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is very great for a developing student. The only bad thing is the fights and bullying are out of control. If they were to put more work into this I would give it five stars. The food is healthy for students but there were bugs in the food a few weeks ago. I hope this problem is to be solved.Student Review2y ago - Ottumwa High School
