Overhills High School

I love this school! I have two sons that attend Overhills and they are doing amazing! I counselors are great! Anytime I have a question I can just call or email and I get a response back that day. I feel like like they always have an open door policy for parents with any questions or concerns. We moved to this area for this high school because they have the highest test scores in the county and I am thankful we did!

Overhills High is a wonderful school. So much effort goes into helping student succeed through after school tutoring, Saturday academy for those with attendance issues, and an opportunity for any student to retake a teacher-made test to improve their grade. Those who speak negatively about the school are just plain uninformed.

I have 2 students in OHS and they absolutely love it !!!!! They came from another Harnett Co school and they love it here. The atmosphere is great. Students are friendly, JV went 10-0 in football and varsity made the play-offs. The education that they are receiving is great. The school has been a school of distinction for the past several years. I would not send my children anywhere else. Hands down the best in Harnett CO.

School is over populated school seems to put a front that they care and make excuses when something happens. A lot of inappropriate kids and nothing is being done.

The school is overpopulated has a very negative atmosphere. if any student says they love this place they are either specail one way or another or they are involved and hiding somthing. As a former and recent student id reccomend other choices first. Keep a close eye on your Student/Kids.

I am very disapointed in this school I have 2 daughters that graduated from other schools in different states and this place is thebiggest disapointed .Counselors are not on the same page, teachers do not comunicate with the parents the open house was a huge mess information was not handed to parents, people were running from room to room ,coaches and some teachers at this school do whatever they like and the principal does not even know what they are doing they are not offering try outs for kids that did not transfer in time ......the school is not at all a place that prepares the children for a future or for collage I wish I would have known this my daughter would never came to this school military children in this place are diregarded and the interstate compact is not followed unless the parents are educated about it ahead of the game

My daughter was starting her first year of High School not knowing anyone. She came home from the first day of school saying she loved this place! The principle is retired military and has a great relationship with the students. He gives them a little more freedom with cell phones and ipods than any school I've ever seen. They say it's to teach them responsibility and prepare them for the real world. They are not allowed in class and because they have this privilege, most don't abuse it. The class schedules are different than most High Schools. I feel that it's set up more like college with only 4 class periods a semester. The teachers are great and work with the students on bombed assignments or tests. I do have some concerns with drugs but I know that's going to be at any school, and don't know how it compares to the other schools. I do feel that she's in great hands when she walks through the door and that's my main priority!

The principal at Overhills HS is racest. When a white student defends himshelf he is suspended. Why is that/

My two daughters have both attended OHS. The oldest graduated and I can say that her teachers prepared her very well for college. My youngest is still a student and loves her teachers and this school. There is a lack of parental involvement at times but there is a strong Booster club and support from the community for this school. The leadership is wonderful and are open to suggestions. The office staff are friendly and helpful as well. I'm so glad we moved to this area and my kids have had the experiences they've had at OHS.
