et another review by yours truly. Though this review is much more grand then any single class review. Yes my friends, this is a review of the school itself, OHHS.
OHHS may not look like much on the outside, but on the inside it has some nice facilities. The science department has lots of equipment and we have 2 computer labs. Take a look at the most of the lockers, there nice and big, perfect amount of room to smash a freshman into, it�s like there built for that single purpose. Yet their color is shit, no seriously, they�re the color of shit. Though the lockers in the new wing are small and useless, you can�t even squeeze one of the freakishly small freshmen into one of them. Not to mention there locking mechanisms are pretty buggy.
The library also leaves something to be desired. The carpet is sickening, and the selection of books is laughable, I mean, what kind of library doesn�t have �Curious George�? Though, there are a few comfortable chairs in there, possibly the most comfortable chairs in the school. Also the computers in there are ancient; they lock-up all the time, and there Compaqs. Yes, Compaq was one of the worst computer dealers around (I say �was� because Hewlett Packard bought them out, so they�re probably better now).
What else? Well the gym is pretty nice, even though our schools theme colors suck, and therefore they make the gym kind of suck. But it�s large, and the weight room has some very cool equipment. You can tell that they put a lot of money into it. They have to keep the football players in peak condition, because football is our schools main priority, I mean, why spend good money on education and new books when we could build a new stadium and get new football gear?
The bathrooms range from good to down right nasty. But I won�t go into them, since Jungle Bunny has a whole review about finding the right one for you. Speaking of nasty, the janitors don�t always do their job. I could throw a wrapper on the floor and it would be there next week. Also� what does the school staff mean when they say, �they�re not here to clean up after you�, what the hell? What do they think a janitor does? Their sole source of income revolves around cleaning up after us!
Next we have the auditorium, and its small. They can only fit 2 grades at a time, and we don�t exactly have the largest student count around. The stage is pretty tiny too; I guess they just put a little to much money into football field.
The classrooms range from nice to �what the hell were they thinking�. Some of the old, and most of the new classrooms are large and full of windows. It�s not restricting, and there�s a good amount of light. They�re optimum learning environments, but then there�s the nasty little windowless rooms that always seem to be to cold or to hot. These windowless rooms are mind numbing. When the only light source is the irritating ugly ceiling lights, it can make a kid go insane. They hurt the eyes, and they make you tired, I really think they should have some other source of light, perhaps a sun roof even.
Though one neat addition is the school store. Now I don�t know to many people that would actually wear the OHHS cloths they sell, but they do have coffee, pencils, and notebooks. So if you don�t find time to buy some new school supplies, you can always go between classes and buy the low grade supplies they have. But I don�t think they're making a lot of money, so they probably won�t be around more than a few years. But still, having a school store isn�t a bad idea. Next we should go ahead and get some fast food restaurants in the commons.
The school layout is student friendly, after a few weeks you will probably know where just about every class in the school is. Also the school offers some nice classes, such as AP classes for the smart college bound kids.
One more draw back though is the butt ugly annex. You know, that little building where they stick the F.O.R.C.E kids, like there so slow that they could infect the rest of the school. Really, did they finish the school and notice they forgot a few classrooms? After we got the new wing, they took the classrooms out and stuck the force kids in it. All in all, our school is definitely NOT top of the line, but it�s not the worst either.
My Score: 78%
