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 loved Orchard View High School ! The school is really diverse. The teachers are really caring wants you to succeed in life. We are okay at sports when it comes to sports. Our basketball and football teams been doing really good for the past couple of years. The food is good too especially the wraps & nachos. Everybody loves those.

Orchard View High School is one of the smaller schools in Muskegon County but what it lacks in size it makes up for in community. People in the OV Community have so much pride and it is a great thing to witness and be apart of. The teachers at OV are very supportive and love to see there students succeed. OV is also conveniently located right next to Muskegon Community College and the Area Career Tech Center which students can take classes at.
