I'm a student at OJH, & i know that me and most of the kids feel the same way about the school. It is not as great as people have come to believe. The current princapal, Linda Kane, does not particulary care to even learn the sudents on a first name basis unless they are in the office on a regular basis. If parents could look at every classroom and go through the halls one day, they would see what we all see every day. It'd pretty clear why we don't talk to our parents or counclers about what we see, the need to fit in, to be like everybody else. There should be something done to stop it, but the talks we all have to have with the school counclers really aren't doing help, things just don't run smoothly around OJH.

OJ is an awesome school. We moved into the district two years ago and our experience with the school has been a very positive one. We have one child who is graduating this year and has many great memories about OJ. We also have another child who will continue at OJ who has adjusted well. The teaching staff is very good and the current principal is great. The only concern is that I hear possibly some of the fun extracurricular events are being taken away (i.e. Camp Edwards for 8th graders, pool party at the end of the year). This is quite unfortunate because I know the kids love it! Overall, OJ is a great experience for kids.

This is an awesome school! My oldest son has graduated from Orland Junior and gone on to High School, my middle son is in 8th grade and my youngest son is in 6th grade. We love Orland Junior. There are many extra-curricular activities, the teachers are wonderful, the academics programs are excellant, and no child gets left behind. This is a school to be proud of!
