I am very surprised by the high rating on this site when over the past three years, I have heard so many complaints from parents. Of course, these parents do not have children in the German Immersion Program. It is well know through the school that the Germon Immersion parents run the school. I particularly ...  Read more

Great school, particularly for the Partial German Immersion program. The teachers and principal have been great so far, after four years of attendance from our oldest daughter. They definitely drive the academics, but there are also a lot of extra-curricular activities.

Orange Hunt is fantastic - Mrs. Cunningham (1st grade) is wonderful, structured and great w/ the kids. We have 3 children there now and they all love the school and thrive academically. Everyone on the staff is helpful and friendly.

I really like Orange Hunt. The school is very well organized and has many parent volunteers. Dr. Ryan is a fantastic principal and the teachers really care.

We moved to Fairfax County last year from California. So far, OHES has lived up to the FCPS reputation. Mrs. Cramer and Mrs. Doyle are fantastic as a kindergarten team. Our son is way ahead of his friends in California and he is thriving socially. It seems like the school is dedicated to the kids ...  Read more

Overall unfortunately disappointing. We thought it was ok until we found out about Sangster. If you want German immersion, then Orange Hunt is of course the way to go. It's GT program is poor, though, and they don't even seem to be too interested in catering to GT students. I guess they've just given ...  Read more
