Orange

The involvement level of the staff of Orange Middle School strikes me as different from many other inner schools. The difference shows in their interest to develop a plan of action to aid their student’s growth. The staff members know that students need to connect to teachers in order to learn. The Orange Middle School wants to develop more administrators who wish to foster a sense of community to allow the non-existent family ties to appear in the classroom. Setting up small learning communities is a great idea to help reach students in a smaller forum.


I think it would greatly benefit the students in Orange if the school building was to establish more ways to keep the students off of the street. What I mean is, if the school develops intramural sports or helps develop more extracurricular activities, the student’s will feel like a stronger part of a school family which is very valuable for student’s who may not have a strong family life at home.
