Summary:
The city of Orting, Washington is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Orting School District. While the schools generally perform at similar levels, with all ranked 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, a few standout schools emerge based on key metrics.
Ptarmigan Ridge Elementary School and Orting Primary School have the lowest student-teacher ratios in the district, which may contribute to their relatively stronger academic performance. Ptarmigan Ridge Elementary outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency for grades 3-5. In contrast, Orting High School and Orting Middle School struggle with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science that fall below state averages.
Across the district, the free/reduced lunch rates range from 25% to 36.58%, suggesting socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student achievement. The district-wide test scores, particularly in Math, are below the state averages, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning outcomes. Addressing these systemic issues and considering equity factors could be important areas of focus for the Orting School District to enhance the educational experience for all students.
