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.

When it comes to Orion, you aren't getting size. With my graduating class being around eighty or so individuals, I'm able to stay connected with everyone, and have all of my friends close to me at all times. However, there's a noticeable inconsistency in quality of the teachers. Some are really good, and some I couldn't stand being in class with. Some just didn't even want to do their job.

Really clique-y. The teachers are usually pretty good. The administration also kind of sucks. They don't do anything against bullying or any kind of problems.

Great teachers and well maintained school. Cafeteria is good and always has multiple selections. Offers verity of sports, men though they aren't organized well. It is a football, so other sports do get put to the side. Teachers are always willing to work with you and never look down on you for not knowing something.

Probably one of the most bigoted towns in IL. Avoid like the plague. "There's no bullying here."

I graduated High School from Orion. I loved the district and the town so much, I wanted my children to experience it for themselves. We moved from a large city where the schools were far below average. The teachers helped them catch up. They have high standards and reward it with teachers and staff...
