Orange Grove School is a community of dedicated staff, students, and parents who work in a team effort to increase student achievement. Our vision is that every student will be proficient or advanced in Language Arts and Mathematics. Established in 1950, Orange Grove School is located in a residential setting within the Whittier City School District. Today, the school’s enrollment is approximately 400 students, with over 90% of the population being Hispanic or Latino. One fifth of our students are English Language Learners.
Orange Grove implements a variety of exceptional school programs that enhance our positive learning environment. Positive Behavior Supports and Intervention (PBIS) is implemented school-wide. Orange Grove Stallions have PRIDE. P= Punctual, R= Respect & Responsibility, I= Integrity, D= Determination, E= Everyone's Safe. Students are awarded for demonstrating behavioral expectations in different settings at school. A school-wide incentive program is implemented and behavior intervention is available. Every Wednesday is our school spirit day; students and staff wear their school shirts or sweatshirts, as well as various medals, ribbons, and buttons they have received from assemblies. To promote college bound goals, every Thursday is College Day. Students are allowed to wear shirts or sweatshirts. There are monthly as well as trimester awards assemblies that recognize students for their academic and behavior achievements.
