My daughter has attended this school since kindergarten. She will be in 6th grade next year. The teachers and staff are wonderful. She scores at and above standard on her SBAC's. I feel she gets a good education at this school. She has friends at other schools in the district that get way more homework, yet she seems to know as much or more as they do. Each student in upper grade is issued a laptop. Other higher rated elementary schools have their students share computers. I feel Cambridge is an excellent school. I don't put much credibility towards these ratings. I think they're based more on the population of the students being second language learners or not, and not due to the quality of education the students are receiving. I recommend this school.

Don't take my word for it, but use any free time you have to come and explore one of the most beloved high schools in Orange County. No lip service when it comes to family, support, and opportunity; your kids WILL be great students and graduate not only with pride from the fruits of their labor, but with a sense of worth and a lifetime of experiences that have constructed the foundation for love, success, and life-changing relationships, from friends and faculty alike. Orange High School is a gem among gems and I promise... you will be HAPPY (forever) to be an OHS Panther!!

Before I pulled my son out, my son attended this school as a 7th grader for not less than three months (pre-pandemic). The Orange school district told me this is a good school, and given it was in a relatively safe area; I was hopeful about the possibilities. I was completely wrong. He lasted a week before being verbally attacked by students cursing him in Spanish on break and in lunch. The classrooms are disruptive, and the teachers spend the first 5-10 minutes threatening the problem students to behave before class actually starts. Kids curse in class, on breaks, and during lunch. My son doesn't speak Spanish, but I do, and may I say that the type of language he was exposed to was extremely vulgar for children. As I understand, he also witnessed some kids threatened by being jumped after school. Adding to the above classroom experience, I decided our pick-up and drop-off area would be in the Albertsons parking lot next to the school. This is where I personally witnessed children as young a 7th grade vaping, offering a vape pipe to young students as they walked by. May I say as a father that it literally broke my heart to see this, not just my child, but that any child was going through this. For anyone wondering if I intervened or just watched, I intervened and immediately called the Orange police and asked for an officer to meet me at this parking lot. The dispatcher patched me to an SRO assigned to Yorba middle school, and as much as this officer had empathy, he informed me that the law prevents him from arresting or detaining students that vape off of school grounds. I am a parent that believes that all children should be challenged in school and in a safe place where they can thrive amongst other ambitious children in their education. I hope that all schools will push our children to become intelligent human beings, children who will have great success in life, professionally and socially. To the Yorba facility, I hope this critique will expose the situation you are in, not to tarnish your abilities but to push our leaders to fix this problem in our public eduacation system.In closing, my son was accepted to a trinity high school as a freshman, his grades are not perfect, but he is getting better and studying hard.
