While attending my last 14 years at West Orange Public Schools I can say that it is the best district ever. While my time at West Orange High School I was exposed to many generous teachers, extra curricularactivities, resources and especially well prepped to enter college with the help of my teachers and guidance counselors. I was lucky enough to see the diversity among people,cultures and beliefs. You cannot say this about many districts. I genuinely miss my time being enrolled at the West Orange Public School District.
If I wanted to live in the suburbs as an adult, I would send my kids to West Orange schools. Their quality in teachers is very high---especially at the elementary and middle school levels.
As a high schooler, the choice in classes is very diverse compared to other public schools. Others often mistake WOHS for an arts high school because of how emphasized their art programs are. We were lucky to have so much funding for sports AND art programs and still be able to have so many other enriching classes to take and programs/clubs to join.

What I loved about West Orange was that it was preparing me for life. In freshman year, I learned about the importance of saving, investing in stocks, and general financial literacy. West Orange High School has every club possible, which I think overall creates a community of learning where people don't feel left out and can explore any field. Some of the clubs I saw were Automotive tech, Black student Union, and Junior Statesmen of America.
