Aside from the magnificent weather and beautiful communities, one positive aspect of our community is that of the Orange County schools system. Ranging all the way from elementary level schooling, all the way to high ranking universities in the community, the schools in O.C. are known for their positive impacts and guidances for children and young adults:


Orange County Schools: Elementary Level

Getting kids on the right path from an early start is crucial to their successes in their future lives. The O.C. schools system provides children a positing and enlightening atmosphere, where parents can rest assured that their kids are receiving a top-of-the-line education. Not only dot the resources and school environment foster prosperity, but the school system is expanding to keep up with an increasing elementary-level population. Just this last year, Portola Springs Elementary School opened in order to serve the needs of more children.

The role that high schools play in the advancement of a child’s career and adulthood is enormous. By developing the foundations that elementary level schooling initially lays, Orange County has a reinforcing network of high schools that guide young adults into institutions of higher education, and ultimately towards achieving their dreams. Aside from having some the nationally ranked status of some OC high schools, the graduation rate has climbed significantly to 89 percent.
