All Old Mill schools are turning to a Marathon but a Nightmare too. This is why you should leave this school. Kids fight with each other. If this goes so bad, Old Mill is now dangerous. We will be locked in places far from here. The reason why these schools are not good anymore is thanks to the Chief. These school are dangerous for teachers, adults and Students. Worst school in America

Disgusting faculty to work with, lack of social-emotional intelligence all-around. Admins lack the ability to administrate their way out of a wet paper bag

The current principal at Old Mill Senior High School Mrs. Alison Mikeska is extremely unprofessional, rude and disrespectful to children at this school and needs to be reevaluated for her ability to be at her position seriously. As far as the teachers they have gone above and beyond that do what it needed for the children to succeed during and after their time there!

I love the school! I went to Old Mill High School my freshman year but my classes were all online and I did virtual learning and I hybrid learning even though I did virtual learning last year that was one of my best moments at Old Mill High School because I formed good relationship with my teachers and for good terms with my counselor the staff at the school are very helpful and I'm more comfortable to speak with Old Mill is the school I really like! LET'S GO OLD MILL!

When my daughter first started attending Old Mill, I was at first a little skeptical of how well she would do, due to how large the school was. I was a bit scared of her becoming overwhelmed, but that feeling quickly faded as I saw her excel in her classes and desire of learning. This school has been such a great place for not only my daughter but now my son as well. Could not be happier with the teachers and staff here. My kids are able to stay active with so many different sports, activities, and clubs, and really love this school! Lets' Go Patriots!! A++

The school has not been truly supportive to my child. Teachers don't read or follow the 504 plan. The teacher to student ratio is to high to give my child the attention they need.
Posted: July 6, 2020
It has been an okay experience. I would like to see the school help gifted students prepare for academic excellence. I feel like my child is falling through the cracks.

I am impressed with the school. When I have had an issue I contacted the school administration and found them to be responsive and caring. The school is run in an orderly manner, there are not many problems that occur during the school day. Several times when visiting the school I observe the kids to be respectful and under control. I feel that my child is very safe at OMHS. The teachers are dedicated, competent and caring. My son is pretty smart and school has always been easy. He's in the IB program and still doing very well without appearing to be overly burdened with homework. From what I understand IB gets challenging in 11th grade. This is a wonderful school, I love the diversity as well.

The teachers here truly care about their students. The school offers ample AP courses as well as the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, and not to mention the countless extracurricular activities, honor societies, and clubs. I graduated from here and got accepted to multiple universities (ultimately decided on Towson U!) and I can honestly say they set me up for future success.

The teaching staff overall is the best you will find anywhere. They genuinely care and work hard with the result being that students are engaged and interested in success. Challenging classes here and the IB program is top-notch. Students are on track for success in college and beyond. Also, great socio-economic diversity and school spirit!

Amazing school. My son transferred here from private school. The teachers and atmosphere are better at Old Mill than his private school. I have never seen a school with as much school spirit as Old Mill. I love, love, love this school.

wow all i can say is bitter anyone after reading the previous comments that are really out of date and not a reflection of the school. really take accountability for your own self. fighting aside (which my daughter has never encountered) the school offers many programs and activities, extra help and teacher guidance. My child is a A/B student and on track for college.

We are a military family, my children have attended eight different schools so far. OMHS is the worst one ever. We will be moving early to get away from this school. It is not military-friendly at all. The school has no leadership and teachers are never held accountable. My children's education has suffered.

I have two children that unfortunately attend OMHS. My son took three AP classes last year- the teachers were not qualified to teach the class. I asked if my son could take the class online and the school said no. They would not work with us. They were only concerned with the numbers game not the children...ex. we offer 20 AP classes (only 5 of them are quality classes though) My son has been bullied and harassed at the school and the staff does NOTHING. If my child had a choice between dropping out and attending...seriously consider dropping out- this school will only harm your child and the principal does not care. The gangsters run this school don't let the staff tell you otherwise.
