Testimonials
"This school has done a lot for me over the last three years and I think I have changed for the better. I think the school has helped me get more into school. When I first came to the school in 7th grade, I started getting Honor Roll and becoming a Positive Peer, things that had never happened to me in my other school. I never had good first report cards and they were always just okay. I also keep my mother’s memory in my mind because I want to make her proud. When I used to have problems with my parents, the school helped me work them out. They would have meetings with me, my father and teachers to try and help me and my father get along better. My father is my best friend now. I also used to have a lot of fights in school but here, I don’t have problems with anybody. I feel safe at this school and I have good relationships with people in this school. I feel like people treat me well because people recognize my good behavior and I get rewarded for it." -Tania O.. 12th grade
"In my old schools, kids would always fight and no one would break it up. There were no teachers in the hallway or outside. At OCS when you have a fight they break it up and restrain you and talk to you. At OCS you learn better. I have really gotten better at math, it’s fun! I can pay attention more because there aren’t that many kids. I like my teachers, they’re fun, funny and they support you with other kids. I get along with the kids here. I hope to graduate from OCS High School and go to college." -Davonte R., 9th grade
"The Opportunity Charter School has done many things for me over these last three years. I came from a school that did not care for my education. I had to suffer, not understanding what I was doing. When I came to OCS they helped me. I have been on Honor Roll ever since I came. My parents are very proud of me and I am proud to be an OCS student." -Alzaouza K., 12th grade
"I would like to thank the Opportunity Charter School for all the hard work you have been doing for my son. The work has taught Kevin not only to be the best student he can be, but also has given Kevin a “heads up” on being a better person in the future. As Kevin’s parent I’ve noticed Kevin has become more polite and mature in more ways than one. Kevin has learned responsibility and patience. Thank to Opportunity Charter School, I truly believe Kevin Graham will grow and prosper." -Lorie G., mother of Kevin G., 11th grade
"When my son entered the Opportunity Charter School he was on a “0” reading level. Although I had him placed in special education while he was in the public school system he just got shuffled around to programs that did not make any difference to his status. Now my son is confident and is not afraid to participate in class or when it comes to his school work and homework. My son entered OCS in September, 2005 and within the first six months he was reading! I was blown away, so you could understand how excited he was to finally be able to read with the class. Since that day he has only been excelling. His reading and ability to understand what he is reading is improving daily, he is able to do his home work independently, he has won several awards for scholastics. I am very proud of him. I thank the great teachers at OCS because without them I do not know where my son would be." -Vanessa H., mother of Keith H., 11th grade
