On a parklike campus dotted with plenty of trees, Orangewood Elementary enrolls close to 1,000 students in pre-kindergarten through the eighth grade as part of the Washington Elementary School District in Phoenix.
Here, the faculty and staff honor a mission “to prepare students to become literate, creative, responsible, lifelong learners in partnership with families and the community.” Outside of the core curriculum, the school hosts computer classes, a robotics club, an environmental club, as well as Native American programs and school field trips.
Students also can thrive in electives and extracurriculars, ranging from band and choir to yearbook and even participation in annual Broadway Jr. musicals. For the more active set, children can compete in girls’ volleyball, boys’ and girls’ basketball, coed soccer, cross country, track, or girls’ softball.
To help foster better well-being, Orangewood hosts KidSpace, which is a before- and after-school care program (for a fee), offers tutoring and counseling services, and provides free breakfast and lunch for all students.
Not only is Orangewood School committed to helping its students grow academically, but the school also helps them to grow socially. The many activities and extracurriculars offered encourage students to make those interpersonal relationships and form long-lasting friendships.

Orangewood elementery is known for it's enthusiastic and outgoing fund raisers. Along with its increasing possitive school spirit, with a passionate student body and faculty. One element I would change for this school would be better benefits for teachers and low income students. As well as better lunches and less illumination of funding in certain areas of visual arts and music

The entire staff is dedicated to helping students learn. Both of our boys have been so happy here and continue to be successful in their academics. We are very thankful for the hard-working teachers and all of their efforts in helping our boys thrive.
