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.

Orange Glen School is a decent high school; I've been here since my freshman year. The safety is not the best, but that's due to the area and demographic of individuals. The diversity is not that good, but it just means that people feel more culturally heard and represented.

Overall it's been well. They're not strict enough about things such as expulsions or suspensions. The teaching staff is great and you can make strong connections.

it was good, it really just depends on who you hang out with. i say if you want to go to colleges be friends with good people and also focus a lot. the teachers here are really helpful. some teachers are really understandable and help you out through everything. also the only way to have the best experience is to be part of a club or asb etc. that way you're really having different experiences and all.
