This is a smaller school so class sizes are small which is great for student/staff relationship and learning. If you want small class sizes, consider this school. The community is strong and student voices are heard. If you hear negatives about this school, consider coming in for a tour to see and get a feel for the school rather than listening to others perspectives. You will feel welcomed by almost everyone you come in contact with.

We are literally moving, so none of our other kids have to go to this school. The only reason to go to Osseo is if you want to do the medical program, otherwise the school is really hit or miss. There are fights, drugs in the bathroom, lots of kids skipping, lots of bullying and to my surprise some completely incompetent teachers. I don't take that term lightly, but our eldest has had 2 teachers who didn't know the subject they were teaching. I'm not even sure how they got their degrees, since one had a middle school reading level capability and another relied entirely on AI to create assignments and do communications. We also had issues with adult teachers harassing children with bullying behavior that would have traditionally gotten a child suspended, but it was ok for a grown adult to do. On the flip side, there are some awesome teachers, the problem really is the negatives outweigh the positives because they go unchecked. If you live where you are assigned Osseo you can transfer your kid via the open enrollment or magnet lottery to another school. I'd highly recommend it. If your kid is younger, I'd suggest you skip Osseo and just enroll in Parnassus Prep. We regret not doing that. If your kid just wants to slack, get in fights and do drugs in the bathroom though, this is a solid fit. As for special ed, my kids are not special ed, but it seems like those kids get lots of support.

Teachers don’t do anything about your problems; they just contact your parents with a whole different story about your problem.
