Mill Plain Elementary School

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.

This school literally traumatized me and my friend group. It tore apart my friend group because of bad emotional support. We'd been bullied in around 3rd grade, and despite telling the coach several times, the bully never stopped or got in trouble. Plus, when I went there, the school was obsessed with getting a rid of tag. So much so, that when some kids chased my friends, and one of them got harmed, my friends were sent to the office and were told "tag bad." Like, one of your students is currently thinking about harming themselves, and you're enforcing rules that don't need to be enforced. Please check in on students every once in a while, especially the older kids. just because they're older doesn't mean they're more mature. Thank you if you read this.

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!
