Ottawa Hills High School Reviews
Rating 3.2 out of 5 46 reviews
There are not a lot of students here compared to my last school. The teachers are very welcoming to anyone. The students and staff have great relationships with each other. It’s a very chill place to be at. There are always extra goodies at lunch for the students. The teachers make sure students know what they are learning so it makes class easier and not as difficult.
What I liked about Ottawa High School was back when I was going to school it seem close like family. We was concern about each other no matter what color you was. The teachers seemed like they was more concerned about how you learned. It wasn't just a job. Now the students grades are poor and you hear so many negative thing about the school. I feel that in order to get better review now they needs more parent participation, better teacher with a caring heart and students that want to learn.
Ottawa hills has a community with a family type of feeling. the school I very strong with helping students succeed and carry on with their education after high school. With it being a mostly black school, ottawa hills provide many HBCU college trips. Ottawa hills also provides many after school activities that students can get involved in .
