School Reviews

This school is absolutely DREADFUL if you aren't athletic. My life revolves around musical theatre and literature, and I am made fun of constantly for doing what I love. Our arts progams are so incredibly low on funding, we don't eve have permanent lights in our gymatorium (yeah, we don't even have a real auditorium either). This school is too focused on sports. Football players are glorified, and cheerleading uniforms are pretty slutty, if I may be frank. The academics could be better on some teams, but I have enjoyed most of my teachers. If you love sports, then Ocoee is perfect for you, but if you love the arts, I'd try somewhere else.
