Very positive and upbeat. The talents of the students were amazing.

Overall, Orangethorpe Elementary is a great school. I love this school for it's diversity. I feel like the overall numbers/ratings are severely outdated and inaccurate. From teachers to staff, the adults at this school care about each child. I would say that the school works closely with the school district to address the ever changing learning needs of each student. After the pandemic, there is no longer one mold that fits all students. With the assistance of Intervention teachers, the "classroom" teachers are able to focus on a curriculum that is inclusive for all levels. I am a mom of the Multiage Program here at Orangethorpe. This is not an extra curricular program but rather a program that's within the school that allows students to work at their own pace on individualized curriculums. This successful program and hidden gem has been running strong for over 50 years. The primary classroom encompasses 4 grade levels (K-3) with three classrooms all made into one giant classroom! When you tour the classroom, you'll notice there are only 3 desks in the class, group tables, lap desks, belly boards, a calm corner, and a giant couch! The "Upper Multiage" classroom bridges the gap between a "play" driven atmosphere to getting them ready for junior high. Upper Multiage encourages these independent 4th through 6th graders to love school through the art of learning! The whole program thrives on hands-on learning and a collaborative environment which teaches students to be inclusive of one another despite the difference in age or academic ability. Many field trips are taken allowing for cultural enrichment. I'm very involved with the program but also with the school. Earlier this year, the school debuted the long awaited "Sherwood Forest" which is an outdoor learning space complete with a mini stage and amphitheater, outdoor tables, and tons of grass. Also available are the LABS at Orangethorpe. Theres the Science Lab, Robotics Lab, and Creative Lab all sitting next to a newly remodeled library with updated books! The school partners with the All the Arts Foundation to provide Art, Dance, Theatre, and Music to the students. Each classroom is equipped with state of the art Smart TVs and iPads for each student. Being on a "major" street, the school and district have done a wonderful job of securing the campus and making the kids, staff, and parents feel safe. Overall, I'd recommend Orangethorpe Elementary (HANDS DOWN)! Come tour the campus and the Multiage class

I am a current Sophomore and I couldn’t be more happier at this school. SHHS was not my homeschool and I chose to come here due to all the positive comments about this school. The principal and vice principals are caring, fun, and energetic and I specifically like Mr. Weinreich (our principal). He is very empathetic and always brings great energy wherever he is. Additionally, the academics is excellent and I feel like it will benefit me when writing about my classes on my college application. Lastly, I love the environment as the school has many plants, trees, caring students, and whenever we have assembly’s, events, etc, the school is so hype! Overall, SHHS is an amazing school and I would strongly recommend students to come here!
