GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

It is a good school, but due to a lack of fundin resorces seem to be very limited. My teachers are great, but I would like to have more access to quality resources.

Honestly it was a unique experience that I wouldn't change at all. Yes it had its ups as well as downs sometimes but overall was amazing it did its job which was preparing me. It taught me on what goal should I put my self, what are the steps and how can I succeed. OMI is a school that parents should send their kids to or a school that kids would like to go to because I wanted to go to this school. Yes, it was scary at first due to a new environment, all the military stuff but at the end of the day I enjoyed it so much.
