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.

My overall highschool experience has been really good overall execpt for COVID. But after that I would say it has been a really good experience meeting knew people and finding long term friends. The teachers are all pretty nice expect for a few but every school has that.

We have a teacher shortage, sometimes some of our teachers are not there. But most of the teachers who do show up are really good, explain things well, and are very nice. The sports programs are really cool. The cafeteria food can be good, but I have unfortunately had mold in my food.

Something's that i like about Orland High is that the teachers will go out of their way to help you understand the concept until you fully get it. Some other things i like about Orland High is that there are a lot of different courses you can take such as Auto, Welding, Wood shop and you can even take ceramics. Some of the things i believe they should add is different language classes such as french or german becuase i think that all students dont want to learn just spanish. I mean i guess it would be good for our area because there is a lot of hispanics around our are but it wouldn't hurt to know a foregin language such as french

Everything is pushed aside for football they get the most funding and it's frustrating because yeah they won the state championship but they trashed the theater room the night of our show.

The kids around this town are just not raised with any humility and its a town full of gossip and mean people. The teachers don't listen to the students and the parents don't correct th...

OHS is the best it has ever been! Student and staff morale is positive. The enrollment is the highest it has ever been! Our principal is transparent and involving students and staff with decisions that can be made by all. We love OHS-Big O!!!

I currently attend OHS and the school is great. It may not seem it at first, a small country school in the middle of nowhere. The sports teams are fantastic and the teachers are all pretty good at what they do. Some people complain about the administration, but I've never had any problems with them....
