We love this community and the staff at Orting Elementary are a huge part of it.

As a parent of multiple Orting graduates, I look back on our K-12 experience with a grateful heart. Living in a densely populated area allows access to so much in the South Sound. We have arts, museums, professional athletics, and a myriad of retailers to choose from, but that typically means sending my kids to a huge school system. Not in Orting! Orting has a niche that I do not see elsewhere in our region. They have schools where the principal knows my student by name and cares deeply about their mission. It is common to talk regularly with teachers, principals, and even district administrators. If you want to meet with the superintendent, you can! The stories of staff and how they go above and beyond in their community are endless. Staff who work there could choose to go elsewhere for more, but they don't! It is not the most affluent area, and the people in our community have more blue-collar jobs. I think that gave my kids a balanced perspective on the world and allowed us to be part of one of the last truly American experiences of public school. The diversity is growing quickly, the test scores continue to grow, and they employ some of the best humans in the world. I would 1000% send my kids through this district. If you are lucky enough to get inside their boundaries, your kids will benefit. Mine are flourishing in college right now!

Orting middle school is the best best teachers we love it but the kids in the school they don't have manners spacialy Russian and afgani kids they really bad I think there parents don't teach how to respect the other kids they don't have manners they fighting all the time so so bad because theere parents teach them hate others
