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 go to school here and it's good. #1 School in Stainslaus county for sure. Plenty of alumni go on to great colleges.

While it is a small school and it is easy to compare my experience to larger schools with more opportunities in terms of location and money, one thing I can easily say about Orestimba is that I love the teachers here. They are incredibly attentive, caring, and remember their students well. I had never thought of having true ambitions before I came to this school where the teachers made me feel special and convinced me that I have a greater purpose in life. It is a tight community, but once you're in, it feels like home.

This school has down to earth teachers who truly care about their students. They all pitch in and support the kids lifting them up and boosting the morale.

There is a lot of bullying at this school. Staff didn't do much about it. I was accused once of stealing laptops. I never stole a thing. There ARE a few teachers that care. I'll admit. One took time to help me pass.
