GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The teachers at Orcutt academy are awesome; they really care about our success and go the extra mile to help us understand our classes. Plus, there's always something going on outside of class – sports teams, clubs, and activities for pretty much every interest you can think of. And since it's a smaller school, you get to know pretty much everyone, which makes it feel like one big family. It's a great place to learn and grow and prepares you well for college.

His shirt...

All teacher & staff are the best.I'm a proud parent of a 2015 graduate student. She is attending Dartmouth Private University in Hanover, New Hampshire. She got this opportunity because she worked hard and got support from all staff & teachers . Special thank you to Ms. Cedillo.
