- Posted by Parent - My3kidsI honestly think that this school Removed. The teachers are rude and ignore the kids who need help. My child has been struggling in his classes, and the teachers have failed to acknowledge him. They always turn to the smart kids and leave the ones who need help in the dark. They need to work on this.
- Posted by Parent - YOLOI am very satisfied with Ooltewah High School. The adminstrators treat the kids as their own. I'm saving money by not sending my child to private school. I know she is getting a well rounded education at this facility.
- Posted by Parent - jdeveI think that Ooltewah High School is a great school. The teachers are very concerned about the future of the kids. The principals run a tight ship. They are aware of everything that goes on.
