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.

Orono High School is a Great school, I love the size of this school because it is intimate enough to where you still feel connected to one another but it's big enough to still have really great school events. Almost all the teachers at this school are an absolute joy to have as teachers and are very understanding

Orono has been a great place to complete my high school studies and play sports. I have been challenged and pushed to grow more than I ever thought possible. My teachers and coaches really care about my success and are there to help whenever I need it. I have made good friends that I will have for the rest of my life. The school is small which can be both good and bad. The school cafeteria/food needs a lot of improvement-that is what I would change first. We have a great activities center. I would like to see more science labs.

We had high hopes and worked hard to find a house in the district before our kids started school. Sadly it's been a mixed bag...there have been some good academic aspects but the social/emotional piece, the lack of true caring in the administration (with exception of Adam Lamparske who is good), and...

I spent all of my school years at Orono. During the very early years, there was some separation with different schools in more separate locations. Once I got into middle school, grades 5, 6, 7, 8, I met many new people and yes, one doesn't get along with everyone but that is life. The Orono living a...
