im a senior, and this school sucks. they don't care about the kids. they don't offer necessary classes to graduate, or even to get into college. they don't allow you to be in the courses you need, and some aren't even offered. kids and teachers are treated like dirt, this school sucks, don't enroll your kids here, or they'll be failure junkies for life.

Mr. Neil Brady has not been the principal of the Oscoda High School since March 2009. He was fired while on medical leave.

Yeah, this school sucks. I'm in the top 10 of my clss and when my mother asked about foriegn language classes and college all they said was, "do what you need to do," in response to my mother's threatening to enroll me somewhere else and they hung-up on her! I can't wait to graduate! They're making things even more restricted and bringing the 8th graders to the high school (within the next few years), but Mrs. Beardsley is supposible being replaced. Just wait she'll probably get a raise. I swear she must have something on the Board.

The scheduling is awful!!! My child can't get the classes he needs. He wants to challenge himself and can't get the classes. The male counselor is useless. He is completely indifferent to our concerns.

There is alot of bullying, disrespect to teachers and students, the math curriculm is very confusing and does not prepare the child for college math. My daughter was afraid to go to school last year, very unhappy with this school!

This high school has had 4 principals in the last year and a half. Each principal is on a short leash, being micro-managed by the superintendent who is not a certified teacher and has no administrative experience in a school building supervising teachers.
The teachers are fine, but terribly demoralized by the administration so that they appear to be uncared for by the school system..
The curriculum is in flux all the time and students seem to be moved around a lot. There is a lot of bullying and many students are uneasy about being there and feel unsafe.
