Orange Lutheran is definitely a school that can give you the full high school experience, for better or worse. If you don't fit in with their demographic it can be challenging, but the school spirit is intense and you really do feel like you're living your teenage years. It's not academically focused, the attention is definitely on the social life and events and functions.

The core mission is clearly communicated and is focused on. Great school. I wouldn't change anything.

Best parts would probably be the teachers, for sure. They make sure you understand for the most part, and definitely care about you. The academics are for sure challenging enough for each individual. The social life is lackluster and very cliquey, not exactly for anyone outside the cheerleaders and football players with C averages.

Students have to park a...

We have two students, Junior and Freshman, enrolled at OLu. The teaching and support staff are caring and show the love of our Lord to students and parents alike. I have been very satisfied with every interaction that I have had with the faculty at OLu. The school offers a very impressive academic c...

Honestly, after two years I have had enough of this school. My daughter chose to come here instead of OCSA, which we now see what a huge mistake. High teacher turnover and poor leadership are evident at this school. Stay away!
