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.

The middle school failed my child this school year. There's a notorious group of students that…read moresystematically bully new kids or someone outside their circle and the worst part, these students are favored among teachers. Multiple complains to the principal resulted in NOTHING! Only a check mark talk with the offenders and the vicious cycle goes on. It's a disgrace that teachers only promote their favorites to win competitions like Science fair. The middle school drastically lacked any fun or engaging events, fundraisers or activities that encouraged team work and inclusion of parents. There was only one field trip throughout the year and no promised end of year concert that even public schools have. The end of year award ceremony was unfairly selective. Throughout the year we got Zero photos from any teacher showing a school day, so it feels like this year just fell out equation with no memories to look back to. There's no graduation ceremony for 5th graders either, which they truly deserve. Since the new owner took over, the school environment (especially in upped grades) is rapidly deteriorating. And it's not surprising, the owner lives outside the country and rarely shows up. My gut feeling was right when I checked the school website before we enrolled and it was generic. And that's how this year felt, generic! A generic website with no teacher names, stock photos of students, there's nothing there that shows actual student life or curriculum or shows any photos of the teachers. This place is about squeezing every dollar they can from paying parents, while failing on delivering the fair support and equal opportunities every student deserves.

This year has been a joke for my daughter. She said she's had the worst year since she started…read moreschool. She complained about daily bullying, degrading or disrespectful comments from some kids in upper grades, because apparently, teachers combined 5th, 6th and 7th grades in the same classroom. School administration is not properly addressing the bullying issue either and I heard the new owner is missing in action, never present and it shows. We as parents were never invited to any classroom event, where we could engage with students, teachers and other parents. There's also no student counselor on site, which upper grades really need. This school needs to step up with its upper grades policies, so every student feels appreciated and having the support the need.

I don't recommend putting your kids in that school. But it has its advantages. Some kids enjoy this school. They have decent lunch, there's a book vending machines or something like that. If you have special education kids I would not recommend, but if you have kids and your nearby Dumfries VA I would recommend. Thank you for taking your time to read this review.

FIRST OFF - Do NOT confuse this high school with Osbourn PARK High School. Similar names, rival…read morehigh schools lol. 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.

Graduated 2012. OHS is one of, if not the worst high school in the area. Only a handful of teachers…read moreactually seem to care about teaching, and even less care about respecting school rules. 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!
