It's either nobody gets in trouble or everybody gets in trouble, but it doesn't stop. There are fights all the time and it doesn't feel safe. Nobody has a filter and nobody does anything about it.

There is lots of bullying towards learning differences.

You have a couple students but everyone hides behind them and everything is always up in the air.

They couldn't care less about their students unless they are favorites.

We don't get enough homework and that's why we all fail.

I am apart of a military family, so we move a lot. I came to this school and it felt like I was being punished for something. Nobody wanted to be my friend. The teachers had to put me with someone. I have been here for 8 months. I still only have that friend but she turned out to be a bad apple too. The teachers show favoritism towards students. They promote lots of events that kinda stink. Communication to my parents is awful they don't hear anything. It all depends on the students. The counselor was not helpful, I had to find my own way. In my first weak I got dress coded for wearing leggings and I had seen a girl walk by in almost the same thing I was wearing and the lady said " Sometimes you get caught speeding on the highway, while others don't" I am not usually sensitive about this stuff, but I cried. I went into the office and they asked me what was wrong and I told them that I hated the school. The office and the principal were very helpful. I really like them. However everything else stinks. We get taught something and don't expand on it. So when we get the test in a week later of not reviewing it we all fail. This is why Mississippi is in the lower percentage of good grades,. I was a honors student until I came to this school and I started failing because the teachers weren't helpful. I believe 8th grade should be counted as important but it's not. They don't have graduation, field trips li my last school and it was disappointing to see that I would have had to miss out on something I was looking forward to so much. Overall the students are too cliquey an fake. I hated this school.

We moved here from out of town, and based our home purchase on the information online about Ocean Springs schools. I just want others to be aware that experiences vary depending on teacher. Overall the academics and extracurricular offerings are very good. The social atmosphere in Ocean Springs is only welcoming if your child fits right in to the sports or cheerleader mold. Some teachers actually contribute to student gossip. The administrative staff is responsive and professional, but if I had known how this would work out socially for my child, I would have chosen Pascagoula or Pass Christian.

OSMS changed me a lot for the better. I learned a lot of new things and all the teachers are very supportive. I think this school has made me a better person.
