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.

Orono High School is a great place to feel included. All students and teachers are welcoming and easy-going. The teachers do their best to advise and walk you through the course when you need help and the principal is very honorable. All though the diversity is low, you do not feel excluded or lonely.
