Read what parents are saying about Orchard View SchoolWe had a fantastic experience at this school. Our son just graduated early with 42 college credits. The teachers are very special. The teachers at OVS seem to love what they do. We got very lucky to have Sunny as a supervising teacher. I don't have the words to express our gratitude for her involvement in helping my son apply to the next step of his life, for her patience with our son, and her recommendations for him. To end his journey she gave him a book that she picked out just for him. Thank you OVS for a great experience, awesome prom (last year), great new principal and for giving us Sunny!
Posted by a parent on 1/24/2023My son will be graduating this year. He loved every second of going here. He will graduate with 42 college credits. The new principal, Maura, is amazing. The teachers really care about the children, and are invested in their future. My son thinks every teacher here is the best. He thinks he just got lucky. That is not the case. They are all just really good. No one is teaching with videos and worksheets. Jason F, Music and Makers is just above and beyond wonderful. Sunny, there are no words for how wonderful she is. If you are lucky enough to get her for a supervising teacher, your child will be very happy and so will you. I am sure the rest are great too. Thank you OVS for 4 great years and one happy kid. Oh, the children really like their friends, and bond quickly b/c of the small campus. Last year, they had an all-school prom. It was the best one you can imagine. Kids played lawn games, sang karaoke and danced. I hope they do the same again.
Posted by a parent on 10/7/2022The teachers are caring. This school is a great option for homeschoolers.
Posted by a parent on 12/5/2021My son went to many schools before landing here. This has been the perfect fit for our family
Posted by a parent on 8/25/2021It is okay, it could be better, school director could do a bit better job, for example, the director isn’t very trusting of the students, treats us like children, we are high schoolers and are treated like elementary students

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWhen my kindergartener started school all seemed well initially. However, one day I picked up my daughter and she told me through tears that the teacher had grabbed her and drug her across the classroom floor. I called the principal immediately and she suggested the teacher and I speak on the phone. The teacher called me and was immediately defensive, stating that my daughter was lying. She said my daughter was just embarrassed because she got in trouble for talking to a friend. I asked for the teachers version of events which changed multiple times and was riddled with excuses. Each time I attempted to speak she cut me off and was incredibly rude. The conversation was VERY unprofessional, I explained the conversation did not feel productive and that I should go which made her upset. She then began attacking my parenting because my daughter had missed school due to illness (that is normal). I explained I no longer felt comfortable with my daughter returning to her class. That is when her teenage daughter (who I had no clue was even present) started to scream at me through the phone. I filed a formal complaint and removed my daughter from the school that day. I left my son as he was having a great experience with his teacher/friends. Unfortunately, just 3 days before the end of the school year I went to pickup my son from the bus stop and he was not there. I called the school immediately and they had no clue where my son was and informed me that his stop had been removed for the remainder of the year. I was then advised to call the bus company. Thankfully, I got ahold of the bus company who rerouted my son to the school. For an hour I did not know what happened to my son or where he was. He should have never been put on the bus. I drove up to the school and found my son crying outside all by himself. No staff bothered to ensure he was okay after the ordeal. This school does have some great teachers and staff but these two events ruined our entire experience. I have since heard from multiple people that this teacher is known for this behavior. This school apparently used to be great but has been going down hill in recent years. We moved my daughter to a new school and she is absolutely thriving and happy as can be. I had no clue how much we were missing out on. My daughter went from being behind and doing absolutely nothing at school to coming home with all sorts of projects and is catching up to her peers after being terribly behind.Parent Review8mo ago - SunRidge Charter School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt seems loving and caring. However, it’s not loving to set a student up for failure later in life. I trusted Sunridge and they left my child several grades behind when it was time to transfer. It took almost two years of tutoring to get my child at grade level. There’s just not enough academic exposure. I worry about all the students who blindly think they are doing great. I was told my son was doing wonderful. The reality in high school won’t be pretty.Parent Review4y ago - Sebastopol Independent Charter School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school offers the best of Waldorf education and the best of conventional public school programs. The special ed is robust and caring. The class teachers are incredibly dedicated. All subject matter is brought to the students with creativity and beauty. The "looping" - one teacher is with the class grades 1 - 5, another 6 - 8 - allows a strong connection to form between each teacher and his/her students. The bond between classmates is also strong. The administration is thoughtful and responsive.Parent Review6mo ago - Brook Haven Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school provides a safe, comfortable environment for the children and volunteers. I love that there is still a country feeling to the school, yet the structure is progressive by being an IB school. I appreciate the staff for all that they have done for our family. We highly recommend Parkside.Parent Review8y ago - Plumfield Academy
