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.

My experience wasn't so bad at Orange High. There is a couple amazing teachers here, my personal favorites are Mrs.Brady Hailey, Mr.Early, Mrs.Hernandez. Personally those teacher made my experience 100% better and I always knew I was able to count on them. The only thing I didn't enjoy about Orange High was that it was a bat tale trying to figure out which restroom was open.

Don't take my word for it, but use any free time you have to come and explore one of the most beloved high schools in Orange County. No lip service when it comes to family, support, and opportunity; your kids WILL be great students and graduate not only with pride from the fruits of their labor, but...

Staff is really nice and seem to truly care about the students, not just test scores and how they look like some of these schools that claim to be the best. The school is older and could use a makeover compared to other schools. My kids love it here and feel great about the school!!
