Orestimba is a good school. During my stay, the faculty were all helpful and safety was always a large focal point on campus.

Overall, Orestimba is a great school in a small city that advocates for a lot of involvement but doesn't get much. The students are mostly respectful and responsible and the amount of fights is decently low. There is no racism or discrimination against anyone, as there is a good Mexican and Black community in the school.
