It's honestly a great high school. The teachers are very good at what they do and the school is highly diverse. Unfortunately, the school is somewhat overcrowded and some kids tend to vape frequently in the bathrooms, creating a sense for delinquency within the school.

My only complaint with my experience at Quince Orchard was the daily schedule. There was many changes in daily class period changes which was confusing.

Quince Orchard High School has been a great place to grow as a person and athlete. It has provided me with opportunities to participate in sports and other extracurriculars. In terms of education, Quince Orchard falls a bit short by not offering a wide variety of courses.
