Ooltewah High School

DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE. This school is displayed as an amazing school until your child starts there. The excuse from the staff regarding the support of students’ education is not enough funding or we don’t have time for extra support. When a parent asked to be notify about lessons taught, they send home a worksheet with no book or how the methods are being taught. They discipline children on different levels depending on what parents they are friends with. They do not allow children to have an imagination and try to tell children how they should think.

If your child is black or mixed avoid this school if you can. When major concerns are brought up nothing is done about it. No matter how much you complain and go off. Unfortunately this is the only school in this area for my kids and I wish it wasn’t. Instead of this town building new apartment buildings they need to build another school that’s diverse and is an actual anti bully school. I cry for my kids every day because of what they endure going here. My kids aren’t the only ones but I’m the one that doesn’t play about mine. I thought the principal was better than that but I was definitely wrong for thinking that. I should have known better. If I could remove my kids from Hamilton District completely I would.

This school has really taken a dive, all my kids went here and we are so thankful to be done with it. As long as you have a high functioning kid that has zero issues you will be fine. But if you need any emotional or extra help with learning, RUN. The new principal is clueless.But the school does have some fantastic teachers!
