O'Banion Middle School Reviews

I am an 8th grader at OB and i went there last year too. And i just plain hate this school. The teachers dont seem to care about our education. They yell and they single out favorites. Theres fights all of the time. Someone is always messing with someone. Last year, on the second day of school there was a fight, and i saw it. Its horrible. Mrs.Greenidge is the best teacher there. And even sometimes i feel like she doesnt like me. and i dont know why. OB is the last school you wanna send your kid too.

Very Poor sense of security at this school. no use of locker, no backpacks, what has happened here for crying out loud! and there is no organization when picking the kids up from school whatsoever. Principal talks about excellence but he's lacking laot of it

I am a teacher at O'Banion and I feel I must respond to this review. I'm sorry for Ms Fuller's experience. I would want all of our parents to know that we are working hard for our O'Banion students to reach 'Destination Excellence.' Like many teachers, I care for our students and will do all that I can to help them succeed. If any O'Banion parent needs assistance or support, or should you have a suggestion please contact me at the school. Thanks. Jean Greenidge!
