Orrington school has over 100 years of history and continuously offers new events where every student and parent can be involved in. PTA is actively working to improve learning environments here.

We have been so happy with Orrington! My son is in first grade there and both kindergarten and first grade have been amazing, nurturing, fun, and extremely educational experiences for him. Class sizes have been perfect - this year he has 21 kids in his class, which feels like the right amount of kid...

This is an amazing school. The teachers really care about the students. They provide lots of attention and opportunities to both gifted and less-gifted kids. The parents are extremely involved (maybe a bit too involved at times). Facilities are in great shape.
