We are so very excited to share with you the progress we have made over the past 3 years.
We continue to close the achievement gap. We were only 0.1 point away from being recognized as Exemplary which is the top 10% of schools in the entire state of Illinois.
Owen Marsh teachers and faculty are AMAZING!
We will continue to work as hard as we can to get to that next level.
OME Pride!!!
