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.

Orcutt academy is known as the "nerd" school. Not everyone is a nerd. But most people have good grades. There are about 600 people in the entire school. I like it because it's not crowded. And you pretty much know everyone. Mount sports are the best but we are doing good. It's pretty laid back and nobody judges at our school. Everyone is unique and expressed themselves.

OJHS is an amazing school. Honestly, it’s a school where there’s a culture of care for students. The staff truly cares about students and are attentive to parents.

Falero and Shmidt (7th grade science) are the worst teachers on planet. Jackson (math) is pretty bad too. Consider Lakeview or homeschool if you truley care about your kids.
