As a cuurrent student at Octorara, Currently, I am faking just to make it. The teachers RARELY ever grade assignments, give you medium to hard assignments, and barely any information on tests/quizzes. SOME of the teachers here are kind and helpful, on the other hand, the remainder of them couldn't care less. And DON'T even get me started on the bullying problem, as a victim of bullying it is not fun at all, there are students MY AGE AND OLDER OR YOUNGER KILLING THEMSELVES JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!! My best friend tried BREAKING his OWN hand just so he DIDN'T have to come to school. And THE NUMBER of MICE that are in this school is unimaginable, EVERY TIME you turn around you see a mouse or dead mice, and even hear a mouse behind things, outrageous. Oh and the VAPING, the HUGE amount of STUDENTS are smoking in the SCHOOLS bathrooms! And DON'T EVEN get me started on the COCKROACHES! Cockroaches left and right! AND THE NUMBER of things being STOLE/BROKEN is chaos. Time to lighten up the mood! A few good things about this school are. . . The career programs are nice and fun and really great to have! The school is somewhat kept well clean. A good bit of the teachers actually care and wanna see you succeed in life and not drop out. Some of the assignments are kind of easy as long as you know what you are doing. And at least the teachers have a personality! To sum everything up I would rather rate this school a 1.5 / 5 just because of the good things I have listed above. That is all, have a good night/day! Bye friends! read more

NO STARS REALLY During unlawful mask mandate they segregated, intimidated, denied entry, denied Fair an Appropriate Education. Coerced into 504's for exemption of mask or through only offering online learning, find a new school, or wear a shield. A shield that would not of protected based on science, data, and CDC admission about the efficacy of masks etc. There was target intimidation as well toward kids who had outspoken parents. After mandate the schools health and safety plan voted on by the board 7-2 (Dec6th 2021)continued the mask madness violating rights of parents and children.Even discipline for not wearing a mask when the plan calls for "no dicipline." Octorara kids are mentally and emotionally suffering, new insecuritie, fears of getting sick, dying, or killing someone with out a mask. The board held onto mask wearing until 22Feb2022 with the assurances their plan could revert quickly back to masks not optional and required all over again. This is a District wide problem from the PLC to the Jr/Sr High! This is only the tip of the iceberg of the numerous things that Parents need to change so our Children are safe in the building and learning the way they should be at Octorara. We need to expose the unlawfulness of the board! #OP4C read more
