Orange Glen High School

Great school good teachers mr turek is the best

Although there are good educators and administrators here, not enough is being done to improve the campus culture of absenteeism, ditching classes, verbal disrespect to teachers and bullying/anti-social behavior amongst the students which makes the overall culture of the school not a healthy, positive environment to be in daily for a child who wishes to grow and learn.

Overall, a great school that cares about kids, families and continued well being of students after graduation.

I believe it starts at home. if you are involved with your kids and want success you wont settle for anything less starting from K. my son is excelling at this school, thriving in his sport and is a well adjusted kid... that started at home. its not up to teachers and the school alone to help your kids move forward. DO YOUR JOB as a parent first and you will be amazed how much better your kids do.

I am a previous Poway Ca resident & our only child has either attended Christian private or the Poway schools, both are suppose to be superior. The truth is we moved to Escondido in a gorgeous upscale home & OG is the school are home is assigned to, I was worried because it wasn't getting a high score out of 10, but what I have come to learn first hand as a P.T.A member at OG is that 80% of the kids are poor by state standards,& their parents do not speak English as a primary language like their kids do, & so that can create some struggles with standardized testing or the out of 10 scoring. Fact this school attendance is at a recording breaking high of 78% no other school in in county has a high attendance score like Orange Glen's, 51% of the kids go off to college right after HS, 21% join the military, 28 Other. The staff are amazing, & genuinely care about the kids. The school receives a healthy amount of Federal money for after school programs.We purchased a new skate park set up, & we are adding in January another after school program to become scuba certified, & every child gets a Rosetta Stone Program at no charge. Thriving School Environment for ALL.
