Great School. World class education here at Orchard. Think of Orchard as the school to world class Trumps of the future. Nothing but the best is here at Orchard School. Over 100 prime classrooms and over 200 falculty members superior to none unlike any other.

My experience up to year 2003-2004 has been positive overall. There is a brand new school that everyone can be proud of. From what I can see they also have brand new text books. Since the new facility was opened, every child has been issued new unused text books for use in class and second one for home in all core subjects. This achievement alone is amazing and it still amazes me, and we will use them with great respect. My son was a 6th grader, first year middle school. For him this year was very rewarding, having to work harder, and do things beyond what he thought he could do. By the efforts of three fabulous teachers he was lucky to have. He achieved the most success thus far. To Orchard Staff Thank you,

Orchard school has been real good to my two Children, They seem to love their school a great deal, we wish there could be more extracurricular activity oppertunity sent home to know what is actully offered. The level of parent involvement will improve a great deal if there was more time in advance given to those parents who work. I would love to involve myself as well if I was given the oppertunity as a working Mother. And My heart goes out to Mr. Peebles, He is one great Teacher and is an inspiration to me and my Children. He truely cares about the students.

I have two children at Orchard and I have been pleased with the education they have received. The boys enjoy school and have made many good friends. Their teachers love their craft and give constructive feedback about my children's educational progress. The school facility is new and there are additions planned for 2007. A new gymnasium, sports fields, and K-3 play areas. The superintendent and principal are friendly and put the children first. Because it is a one school district, they can focus all of their time and financial resource on the success of Orchard. There is an Early Learning Center for infants and school age care for older kids. My boys have been here for 7 years and will finish K-8 at Orchard.

I think now we have a very strong principal and superintentand at Orchard, prior years were very bad, but we stuck it out, and I very pleased what Bradly Yee is doing with Orchard School. My child is in her fifth year of attendance at Orchard, and I would be happy for her to finish out until high school there. I know many of the staff there and students and parents. We are definately cllimbing, lets keep trekking up.

The nice thing about this school is that the principle greets the children and parents every morning at the school entrance. This shows that the principle cares about the school and the children. The teacher quality is ok. The school is on the track of getting better.

In the last couple years I have seen this school do better with all their students. It's quite impressive, the teachers seem more attuned.
