Posted by a parent on 11/3/2021Ottawa Hills is a school full of students who face immense challenges. Most come from families who do not emphasize the importance of education and thus are not involved. The front office staff is offensive, difficult, and frustrating to interact with. Administration is concerned only with meeting minimal criteria, and squashes any attempts made by teachers or students to achieve anything beyond that. The result is a hostile environment, because everyone is frustrated and burned out. If you are a student at Ottawa, you can be successful, but you will have to work extremely hard, and with absolutely no encouragement or support from home or school administration. The teachers at this school are very good, but unfortunately they are often handcuffed by a clueless and often absent administrative body. Call the front office, and try to have a friendly conversation, the results will astound you. You have to experience it to believe that someone can be that rude in that line of work.
Posted by a community member on 10/20/2013Ottawa Hills is not for the faint of heart. I have subbd there and was shocked by the behaviors of the students. Each class had only 4-8 dedicated students while the rest of class kicked chairs down, called me names, ripped up their assignments and threw the remnants on the ground. I called security, and no one came. They were too busy. I called security again and got the answering machine. It's incredibly frustrating to come to teach and end up babysitting. I sincerely hope that Ottawa Hills will someday thrive again; but I can't realistically see myself as a part of the solution. I won't be guest teaching there again. I just feel badly for the few students that want to learn. It's too hard to think amongst all the chaos.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI recently graduated from the 8th grade at GRCMS and I am very proud to have walked its halls. The teachers and staff, including the new principle, are extremely dedicated to the education of my generation, and the preparation of our minds for the years to come. The teachers ensure that we gain a deeper understanding of not only the curriculum that the school board sets out for them, but of ourselves as a part of God's Kingdom. My only regret is that my GRCMS experience didn't last longer. Out of five stars, I wish I could give ten. Go Eagles! -A Proud Alumni.Other Review12y ago - Immaculate Heart of Mary School
