Mrs Duralde and Mr. Self are extraordinary teachers that go above and beyond to make sure their students succeed.

This review is for the Handy Elementary School location as an Election Day polling place, not for…read morethe quality or skill of the school as part of the OUSD-Orange Unified School District. I have no really in depth familiarity with that. I'm a registered voter in Orange and receive the vote by mail ballot. As that, we mailing voters have the option to drop off the official ballot at a polling site. I'd driven by the Handy School already that election day and knew it was an official polling site for Orange. Why? Because was clearly and well-marked from the street a place to VOTE that day! Now, you have to know I am temporarily disabled and get highly fatigued if not exhausted from even small errands or tasks. So, by the end of the day, I was kvetching about going out to cast my vote. Then my own values about greatly valuing our right and ability to vote kicked in around 7, and I filled my ballot out and signed, hauled my tired bod into my car, drove over and into the parking lot. Well, thank God/dess for all the helpful little lovingly handwritten signs pointing to and guiding me to the voting room! I'm emphasizing those lil signs so much because while which room was clear from the parking lot. But seeing this is an elementary school, there were chain link fences and locked doors for all those school kids and staff's safety. How on earth was I to get IN to cast (drop off) my vote? And it was now about 15 minutes before the polls closed. I didn't want to get stuck circling those chain links and miss out on voting! Then I noticed it! One more little, and I do mean truly small, handwritten "Vote" sign, this one with a hand drawn arrow guiding me to the hard to see break in the chain link fence which led to the entrance to the polling place room. I walked in with my envelope. The poll workers were all so cheerful, friendly, and helpful. They pointed me to The Box. Popped my ballot in. And then I could wear my "I voted" sticker with veracity!

From Sports to Academics and Performing Arts to Leadership, Orange has it all. The negative comments on here are so ignorant and out of left field, with no supporting evidence and these ignorant claims. Orange High has even taken in students who tried other high schools before realizing what a mistake they had made. From teachers to administration, this school cares. Don't let the false rumors and competition between high schools sway your decision. Orange High is just as AMAZING, if not MORE, than any high school around.

My child attended Kinder through 4th grade, 2018-2023. Ms. Rubio was the only principle at the time and is now on leave, no surprise there. She is garbage. My child was bring bullied and singled out by the kids, I reported this to the new principle who is still there, a male now. My child's teacher, 3rd grade teacher at the time, and counselor who is still there, who is also garbage. All in turn for all of them to tell me its my childs fault for being bullied and singled out. They had the nerve to ask me why he doesn't play with the other kids.. Hello!! He's being singled out! Also his 3rd grade teacher didn't like when my child told her Her tone was too high. They talk about speaking up but when the kids defend them selves "they are out of line" not of the staff told me my child was outta control, he yelled or did anything to disrespect them just that he spoke up once and that he doesn't play with the out the kids. All they did was roll their eyes. The counselor lady is the worst, telling me to get my child therapy instead of addressing the the kids that picked on him. They avoided that. The male principle didn't say anything at all. His 3rd grade teacher mad because my son spoke up for himself. Total garbage school. I transferred my child after the 4th grade only to see if 4th grade was better. it only got worse.. accusing my child. I had to take him to therapy all they do is hide all the bs.

The faculty and administration are clued in to their students in supportive strategies that work academically as well as inter-personally. Adults model what they're requiring re:students ' behavior. Love that this Charter School requires uniforms. Love that their cafeteria prepares fresh, locally sourced food to the students every single day. Genius! Loving that all this is coming from the once embattled OUSD-what a complete turnaround for the better, in the past 15-20 years. All the fundamentals are working together for the greater good at Santiago Charter Middle School. Grateful, grateful, grateful. AND...they still have room for new students.

When you visit the campus, you will immediately notice the caring atmosphere because every staff member is amazing (shoutout to Dr. D and Mrs. Pedroza, co principals, for giving this school the big heart that it has)!! If you're on the fence, give them a chance by attending one of the campus events to hear what they have to offer and what sets them apart from other schools. For example, how many middle schools offer international travel opportunities? My daughter went on a 10+ day trip to Europe and made wonderful memories with her friends. Again, this school has it all (including pre-AP!) and so many parents I've talked to all agree it was amazing for each of their kids. No regrets!

When I drop them off in the morning, there is leftover food and trash on the floors. My kids are only 2yo and 3yo and like most kids this age, have a bad habit of picking things up off the ground and putting it in their mouths. It was no wonder why they were getting sick all the time, the school doesn't clean the floors regularly and kids pick up food/trash off the floors. Another health issue is their kids bathroom. When I drop them off in the mornings, the kids restroom has a strong urine smell. They obviously don't do a good job cleaning that either. I had to pull my kids out of this school after two months.
