Original Research by School Decision on Orting Secondary Online Academy
Orting Secondary Online Academy is listed as a closed school, so there is no current student body, no academic performance data, and no programs to describe. The entity was a regular public school in the Orting School District, serving middle school grades only, but it is no longer operational.
Because the school has closed, nearly every typical data field is empty. There is no enrollment count, no racial or ethnic breakdown, no share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, no information on students with disabilities or English learners, and no state assessment results. The school did not serve high school grades, so there is no graduation rate to report. The lack of data is a direct consequence of the school being closed; there is nothing to measure.
The Orting School District, however, is active and in the middle of a building boom. Publicly reported records show bond-funded projects are underway to replace an aging elementary school and to add a high school wing for career and technical education in fields like agricultural science, mechanics, STEM, medical sciences, and culinary arts. The district serves a broad and growing 45-square-mile area that includes Orting itself plus parts of Graham, Bonney Lake, and Puyallup. These construction projects are designed to add capacity for current enrollment and for planned residential developments in the area.
For a parent who is curious about the Orting Secondary Online Academy, the short answer is that this option no longer exists. The broader Orting School District is expanding its physical campuses and CTE programming, but the online academy for middle schoolers has been discontinued. Any inquiry into online learning options would need to be directed to the district office to see what, if anything, has replaced it.
