O'Connor High School

My son is a Junior this year and we have had a great experience. He is involved in AP and Dual Credit classes and he has to work harder but is doing great. His extracurricular classes include Choir, Drama, Oral Interp and has gone to either State or Nationals for all of it. These teachers are dedicated to their students. I recomment meeting the new principal and getting involved as a parent. You will not know what is going in your childs school if your not involved.

When O'Connor first opened, it was an excellent school. However, along the years the quality of education has taken a complete nose dive. I've had a child to graduate from there, and it was at a time when the teachers showed complete dedication. I now have a second child attending there, and it's not the same level of structured teaching. It's gotten much more laid back in terms of helping the students to achieve their goals and more concentrated on extracurricular activities, mostly the football team and pep rallies. There is more importance placed on these things than on academics in my opinion. It used to be a great school, but now it's mere mediocre. I'm seriously considering sending my child to either Clark or a private school. The teacher dedication is replaced with underpaid, overworked employees.

Both my children have attended this school. I was worried at first because of the size, but my children have been well prepared for college at this school. There are numerous extracurricular activities avaialable... a place for everyone to fit. The teachers and administration are great and repsonsive to student and parents needs.

I'm a senior and I love O'Connor. Taking five AP classes, along with being an editor for the newspaper can be overwhelming but the teachers are flexible and help me manage my time which I know will come in handy in college. The extracurriculars are great. There is a club, team or organization for everyone. Sports and fine arts are incredible along with our Ag program. The teachers are incredibly involved. Mr. Stanley, Mrs. Hoffer, and Mr. Martin are at all the athletic games and have even shown up to academic competitions. There are downsides though. Parties are easily found. A lot of my friends partake in these activities but I can proudly say I never have. Make intelligent choices and you'll do great.
