Ola Middle School

Great school and the best cluster in the county. Teachers are dedicated and challenge the students to continually improve. Communication is great and the school seems to really try and promote a sense of community. Could not be any more pleased. I would like to see the teachers be given more leeway and authority to remove/discipline disruptive and troublesome students, as an inordinate amount of time seems to be spent pandering to the lowest common denominator.

Certain teachers yell at you for reason. They also have a dress out that singles out girls. Vocal brutality is basically this schools religion.

As I read all the comments from past years my heart is heavy that the same things are still an issue at Ola Middle school. I had such high hopes for the school. Mrs. Truitt is now the principal and is rude, disrespectful and undeserving of a position that deals with people period. Bullying is most definitely present at this school especially for children who are new to the area. If you think that you will have support here for you or your child let me tell you that's not " the OLa way" and "their" kids would never bully!!! My child has been called all type of racist names been pushed and hit on as well. When brought to the attention of administration my child was told that they were lying. If you weren't born and raised in the community good luck with being treated fairly! Keep you children close and informed. If you do chose to move to this area, stay involved and make your presence know or your child will be left out in the cold. The principal will never sit down with you she will always have others such as Mrs Maddox do her dirty work. As for me and my child if I have anymore issues I will take all of my evidence and exposes this school for the racist cesspool that it is. I hope this review helps!

All three of my children have attended Ola Middle School. It is one of the best schools in the county. I have been very satisfied with the level of instruction my children have received, and as my older two entered high school, they were very prepared for the rigor expected of them in honors classes. The teachers bend over backwards to contact parents and let us know what is going on. Mrs. Truitt has definitely increased the rigor at the school, which is a very good thing, and the fine arts program at the school is beyond a doubt the best in the county and one of the best in the state. I could not have asked for a better school for my children to attend.
