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.

The best parts about my experience at Orting High School are the school-run events. The football games and spirit assemblies all have brought me joy and helped make me feel more connected to the school. The worst parts about my experience at my high school are the food and lack of room at the school. The school food is not the best quality and can even leave some people feeling ill. The lack of room in my high school leaves a lot of overcrowding. I would love to see more changes in the space of the school and in the food quality.
