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.

I enjoyed my experience in Orange High School. I transferred to Orange my sophomore year of high school and in the beginning i didn't like it because i missed my friends and the people i grew up with. But, as i started to open i made some of the best friendships with people i now consider family. Orange has become a second home for me, it is much like a small community because we are a very close family everyone knows everyone and we are always there for each other. I have to say, my Senior year was by far the best with cheering with some of by best-friends, to pep rally's, to field trips, and the highlight of my senior year was winning the Class of 2022 Prom Queen.

Overall my experience at Orange High School has been great. There are many opportunities to grow and expand your interests. However it is often that teachers and administration are hard to reach or dismissive with efforts to reach out. Many parents in the district are very involved and spend a great amount of their time working to make the students events the best they can be. I have seen very little large issues within the student body. Generally speaking every student l ones the other in the grade and there is an intimate culture within the school.

Not only that, but some of the teachers have been throwing micro-aggressions towards my child who is an African American. This i...

I have two children which graduated from the district and was so disappointed. I would strongly advise those of African American ancestry to avoid this school district due to its profound insensitivity and blatant racism. I don't have enough space to enumerate the instances (unequal discipline pract...
