I love Ouachita high school! The teachers really do care about their students. If you need anything they are there to help in person or via email.

During my years at Ouachita Parish High School(OPHS). I had my ups and downs academically and socially. The administration could have improved a bit because they didn't really provide a nice environment for students. Whether it be dress code or tardiness, I never had a good relationship with any of them. The teachers, on the other hand, were very sweet and tried their best to do the job efficiently and effectively. While the teachers tried their best, they were also involved in the culture of the school as well. One small part of our culture included us acting as a family, whether it be at games, pep rallies, or a parade. It's funny we would call our school "O-block" because our name is Ouachita. I loved it sometimes and sometimes I didn't, but it's all a part of the high school experience. I'd rate it a 20/23.

I’ve spent my entire high school career at this school and I liked most days. The school is very nice and the teachers teach well. This school is a great place for learning and accomplishing goals like getting a diploma.
