Sifton

The quality of everything at this school is very poor. The administration cares not about families and will lie to protect themselves. There is a new building, but that means little when the people who are supposed to be educating the children act like they wish they would be anywhere else. There is a substantial amount of bullying, theft, and violence. All of which nothing is done about. Avoid this school at all costs.

The have the best after school clubs as chess, lego, horticultural, musical.

Between the low testing scores on average for all students at this school, the amount of bullying, Never having homework, bad leadership in the administration and taking away good rules and adding ones that are more complicated and make parents/students lives harder this school had went from one of the better schools In this area of Vancouver to a school o wouldn't recommend to anyone. As someone who was a student in the past and now has my own children going here it is astonishing to see how terrible this school is now.

MY SONS EXPERIENCE WITH ORCHARDS WAS GREAT! HE HAD A FEW HICUPS HERE AND THERE, JUST BEING A LITTLE BOY, BUT THE SCHOOL WAS ALWAYS UNDERSTANDING AND WORKED WITH US AND MADE SURE WE WERE HEARD. WE WILL MISS ORCHARDS A LOT. I AM SO THANKFUL MY SON WAS ABLE TO START HIS FIRST YEAR OF SCHOOL HERE AND HE WAS BLESSED WITH AMAZING TEACHERS FROM KINDERGARTEN-SECOND GRADE! EVEN THROUGH THE PANDEMIC AND REMOTE LEARNING, HIS TEACHERS WERE VERY HELPFUL AND MADE SURE US PARENTS AND THE STUDENTS WERE NOT GETTING OVERWHELMED. THE STAFF HAS ALWAYS BEEN FRIENDLY AS WELL. ORCHARDS ALL STAR'S ROCK!

This school district does not give full attention to students as individuals. Low income is very apparent from the menu to the large classroom settings. Too many students per class.
