7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have three kids at this school and there are many great and unique things about it--a thriving Farm to Cafeteria program with a large school garden that the kids love, caring teachers and involved parents, and it is the hub of the community for Orcas Island. The not so great things are the high student to teacher ratio, and the inability of the teachers (due to the system and "teaching to the test") to pull out gifted students for directed teaching. This means that smart kids do not get the opportunity to be challenged, without private tutors. Overall, it is a pretty good option for such a small community, and parents and teachers do care. But it is academically limited.Parent Review14y ago - Orcas Island High School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFor a very small school, Orcas does a tremendous job of providing quality, career/college preparatory education with a broad course offering. The staff is enthusiastic about the development of the students and providing unique opportunities for engaging with the wider world. Like many schools, funding here is a challenge and perhaps more so in a county with the 2nd lowest property tax rate in the state of Washington. In spite of that, the school seems to do a good job of apportioning their limited funds appropriately.I'm a bit dismayed by older comments decrying harassment, intimidation and bullying. I see zero evidence of that within this school. The small cohort year groups are generally very tight, in spite of their diversity in social status, political outlook or background, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc. The comments may have been accurate in the past, but I see no evidence of such a problem today (as limited as a parent's perspective can be)Parent Review9y ago - Waldron Island School
