The lunch staff and custodial staff are friendly and remember the kids names. The principal is in his second year at Penn. He has made a lot of changes to the look and feel of the school. The kids and parents are always welcome to talk to him at events. Great teachers at all grade levels from pre-K to 5th. I can't say enough about the staff at this school. There is a lot of parental involvement. There are a lot of events throughout the year for the students from field trips, movie night, ice cream social, science fair, reading fair, spelling bee, gym nights, spirit night at local restaurants, and more. There is a great deal of emphasis on the whole child...education, community, health and fun! I still have 3 years left and plan to keep my last two at Penn. I am a PTO member and a huge school volunteer. Penn is a great place to learn and grow.

If you want to help your child with a learning disability do better in school, don't go to these people as they are not trained to help children with learning disabilities. My reasosns are they try to use rote memorization techniques and standard teaching techniques to teach every child, which don't work with kids with learning disabilities. I was going to just let it go since they did offer me some accomodations to get my son's testing done and were trying to offer me a discount to start tutoring and I appreciated that but then Susie K. tried to shame me and make me out to be a bad parent that didn't care about my son's education. It started off bad and just never improved. They tried to have my son who has ADHD do too much in one sitting (an hour for a pretest without any breaks) so we had trouble even getting the pretesting done because my son was frustrated and in tears from too much pushing him to do the test! This showed me they had no idea about learning disabilities or IEP modifications so I stopped going to them and wasn't going to give them a bad review but then I got an insulting email from Susie K. I sent an email to request they stop emailing me since I had asked them to do this a few times already. In response, she tried to shame me as not caring about my child or education because I simply requested she no longer email me about their services. She has never once tried to find out why I no longer wanted to know about or use their tutoring services, she just sends an insulting email because I got tired of her not listening to my requests to not email me anymore. I had to threaten to contact the Better Business Bureau to get her to stop and in retaliation she sent a nasty email back that said that she didn't want to bother parents who didn't care about their children or education! Her insulting and unfounded accusation is why I am now writing this review! IAs a trained and successful teacher with 15 years experience teaching Social Studies and Elementary Science, I think I might know a thing or two about teaching and serving the public. Having taught that long, I know how to administer IEP accommodations, recognize signs of learning problems, and how to help kids do well as long as they know how to read the basics but I did not know how to teach my son how to overcome his learning disabilities to learn to read because I am not a reading teacher or Special Education teacher. I came to them with tears and a desire to help my son but didn't get the help he needed so I took another avenue and she doesn't like that. After the first disasterous testing session, I talked to some excellent Special Education teachers who told me the centers' approach was all wrong for his learing disabilities so I cancelled any tutoring they had scheduled, despite pressure from Susie K. in several calls for them to continue the test and tutoring, and never went back. From my experience with Susie K., all I can say is she is all about making money, not doing what helps the child.

Would only post pictures with the back of her head when class teamwork was posted on dojo for the parents and never encouraged our child as an individual on self esteem. PRIVATE SCHOOLS ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT!! Or..... Volunteer in your child's classroom and be part of the PTO if you can. If you cant, lots of homeschooling is recommended.

You no longer enter the main doors when you come here for a sporting event located in the gym, they have you enter the side door and everything is contained to that one hallway and the gym itself.

I graduated from this HS in 2001 (dang I'm old).. it had just gone through a remodel at the time.. the high school was completely torn down and rebuilt (actually a new one was built while students used the old one.. then transitioned to new one and old one was torn down). The teachers are decent and friendly.. but one question. WHAT IS UP WITH ALL THE PEDOPHILE TEACHERS AT THIS HIGH SCHOOL? I believe in the past 10 years, there have been THREE different teachers that have been accused/charged with some sort of sexual act with students. C'mon. You're a public education system.

I have actually had teachers who said "you can have your cell phones out as long as I'm not teaching and as long as there isn't an administrator looking in the window." This was back when cell phones were banned in the classroom, and I think that rule might've changed by this point. The students definitely don't care about school rules, and the teachers don't really care either. However, there are a few really great teachers there. By the time I graduated, I felt like I had learned nothing that would prepare me for college or the real world. I struggled in college because I had never needed to do much before to guarantee myself an A in class. My senior year and after I left, they were trying to seriously change the school so it would perform better academically. I don't know how they've done, but based on what I've been told by students there, not well. There are a lot of teachers and faculty who have done questionable things outside of school, not just at OHS, but in the whole of Manassas City Public Schools. Most charges are sexual in nature, but there are a few other charges in the mix, like drug related charges. How these people are able to be hired is beyond me. One final note: OSBOURN HIGH SCHOOL AND OSBOURN PARK HIGH SCHOOL ARE TWO DIFFERENT HIGH SCHOOLS IN TWO DIFFERENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS!

Amazing teachers, staff, kids. This is our third year there and have had such a great experience.read more
