As one of the students of OCS, I can tell you that this school has what is esencial for what we, the students, need to know. Though the school isn't big, nor fancy, it is all we need to learn. Not to long ago, bulliying was not allowed, now are scool can be in peace. Though being a student, I see little quarells every now and then. Well, even though the school is made for education, there are... er, friendships. For example, some girls, like some boys, and some boys, like some girls. Furthermore, some students do extrodenary on tests while some, do not. But by knowing this school, I know, for sure, they will teach everyone so that they will succeed! This is my review.

Lack of uptight social climbing parents driving kids in silly bureaucratic environment. Rather, small, efficient, quality education with a great vibe that can accommodate my child's individuality.

I love Orange County Charter School because they have vegetarian lunches and want an alternative to dissecting animals.

OCS is small, personal, academically sound with great teachers. OCS is accepting of diverse beliefs and lifestyles

We hired Dr. Mark Borkowski to be our principal last year, and he is a godsend! Note that the reviews of OCS which rated the principal leadership as 4/5 were done before he came. Dr. B works very well with the Board and the teachers. Our teachers are a tight-knit, dedicated team, who are always striving to improve year after year. Low turn over - in families and teaching staff, says it all. People are here by choice and they love it.

I was a student at OCS from K-8 and I graduated in '07. Becuase of this I really had a chance to watch the school grow. The wonderful teachers there really challenge all their students and thanks to them I had a 13+ reading level when I was in the sixth grade. I really appreciate the care I recieved there and I wouldn't change a single experience.

We love this school. We have tried private christian schools and public schools and we think we have found a happy medium. This charter school is very family and individual oriented. Small class sizes and individual attention equals happier students with a better understanding of classwork.
