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 family atmosphere where teachers care. They are concerned about all of the students and want the best for them. You really can feel the concern.

What I like about okolona high school? I like the overall experience you get when anyone comes. We treat everyone like family no matter the race or disability. At our school everyone's equal no one's better than anyone and that's what I like about my school. You can express yourself any way you feel without being judged .
