Posted: June 2026 - DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE! Money…read moregrabbing, UNORGANIZED, Christ-less school (due to the number of 1 stars, they have no discontinued Google ratings) This will be a long post, but i want to say this ALL here! I remember when I was enrolling my daughter to this school, her 5th grade OCPS Principal said that she had a friend who's son attended this school, she said it was a NIGHTMARE! I took what she said as face value.... fast forward to my daughter's first year here - it was simply that! First off, the front desk staff were very rude!! I was in there to pick up my child from the weather day, and saw people like Mrs. Butts, Mrs. Howard and another man chatting for their lives, never acknowledge who I was. I was just standing there! I did confront them and let them know that this is an institution and not a church coffee shop! I know they were upset, but I don't care! Second, the Upper school Principal Laviolette is HORRIBLE! I do not trust her at all, I see how she is with those of different color! I have watched her slam the door in my daughter face when it was cold outside and said she was late! Also, during the award ceremony, her daughter had gotten almost ALL of the awards! ... she's also rude to parents! I wish the Preacher of the church can dig into her emails on how she has spoken to other parents and me! She's evil! Third, the school is unorganized! Emails go out late, no parent engagement, BORING! My daughter cried to me everyday about how much she hated it there! My daughter will miss her friends dearly, but the school is a NO! I beg you, please do not send your child here! ... Middle School is dead there! No real engagement - nothing! You will thank me later!

This is a very fine example of what Public Education can and should be…read more I am part of Leadership Orange, which brings together adults from different work experience and skill sets, to be immersed in Orange County Pubic Schools, and learn as well as contribute ideas for future success. Our first meeting was at West Orange High School. My adult children visited West Orange MANY times as Dr Phillips High School was considered their rival during football season. Now, granted, my kids graduated 10+ years ago, I was speechless to see how far OCPS has come with education, especially at West Orange. The campus is beautifully laid out and has a large outdoor open area for students to meet up and talk during free time. What really blew me away was that many, if not MOST classes are totally digital/electronic. Each student has laptop and the curriculum is fully loaded on the laptops. Teachers use an interactive power-point type program in front of the class and can manage what students are doing, and gauge the lesson plan instantly based on student results. Another great thing about the 'electronic classroom' is that parents can also monitor their student's growth academically. Since this is the 'digital generation' I honestly believe using computers to teach with helps students take a greater interest in learning, and motivates the students to learn and hopefully grow further with a solid education. Of course, there are subjects that just cannot be taught fully on a computer; arts, music, sports but I have a feeling the computers are still used in those classrooms, too [only saw marine biology first hand]. The students at West Orange also seem to have great respect for their teachers and the entire education team. Keep doing what you are doing West Orange High! You are most definitely building our future leaders! I am in AWE!

My friends and I absolutely enjoyed ourselves here while celebrating my 35th birthday!…read more Our Painter/teacher was amazing! She was patient and stayed opened after hours to accommodate this special day for us. Unfortunately, my entire group didn't show as it was a 10 person minimum. No matter the amount of people we enjoyed ourselves. We were allowed to have wine and refreshments... She also jammed with us to our favorite songs. I highly recommend!

I had peeked into Artroom several times finally last year I signed up for a class - the format was really nice ( adult oil ) first weeks all newbies were given a beginners project and Linda walked us through it in detail sharing wonderful tips that I did not even get from Valencia professors - no offense - most importantly her expertise in teaching and reading the class is incredible - she knows each student their capabilities strengths individually and coaches accordingly - giving honest constructive feedback in a very warm manner. People joke that it is a lot cheaper than therapy and works even better. After the initial project everyone works on a project they want and Linda coaches everyone individually on their projects finding bringing resources - recommending references. It is a group class so this level of individualism surprised me in a good way. My only regret is that I did not find artroom sooner

Yesterday I had the opportunity to volunteer at The Kitchen House & my experience was such a…read moredelight. At first I felt excited and nervous, just because it's a new experience for me.However, Nicole, Blake, Megan & even Ms. Ivann made me feel so welcome! I joined in on a culinary class based on sauces, stocks and soups and the guests did an amazing job. The concept of the volunteer is to guide the guests & just be a kind person in their culinary journey This venue is breathtaking, the kitchen is awesome and the knowledge you gain is so worth the experience. I will definitely be back to volunteer again! The guests made: mac and cheese, green bean casserole, kale soup & an awesome salad with the veggies sourced from their own garden Please take a class! I know i definitely want to!

The Kitchen House is a not-for-profit garden and cooking school that focuses on teaching healthy…read moreplant-forward recipes to adults and children. Ever since Publix Aprons Cooking School closed, I've been looking for a cooking school that has fun adult classes. The Kitchen House has just started a monthly "book club" called Plot to Plate where they feature a book that relates to or includes recipes. This month was Lessons in Chemistry so my friends and I decided to attend. We bought our tickets in advance as classes can sell out. The classes are different prices depending on what the class is. The house is in a residential neighborhood in College Park and does not have a dedicated parking lot so I would suggest getting there early as you have to find a spot along the street. When we arrived, we were greeted and given a welcome drink, in this case Cardamom Decaf Coffee because it was cold out. One of the instructors said that normally we would walk the garden at the beginning of class and also eat outdoors but since it was cold, we were going to skip the garden and eat inside. Once everyone arrived (cooking classes can have up to 20 people), we met in the lobby to start talking about different themes of the book. Then it was time to wash up and go to the kitchen. All the ingredients were set out for us and we picked the Veggie Pot Pie table with other attendees. The instructor gave us some knife skills lessons and then we all started cooking, using the recipes at our station. Each station makes one recipe so you don't get to make everything. And, the instructors and volunteers don't show you how to make everything first (like Publix Aprons used to do). But, if you just dig in and start going, it is a lot of fun. We had some questions along the way, like is there a spatula we can use? Or, is this the flour or the cornstarch? The volunteers were great and answered everything in a friendly way. As it said you could do in the welcome email we received before the class, some folks brought their own wine and the Kitchen House provided glasses and would pour for you. I think if we go back, we would definitely bring our own wine. My friends and I made the drop biscuits for the Veggie Pot Pie, which were surprisingly easy to make. We were finished early so we also make the Brownies for dessert that used olive oil and maple syrup instead of butter and sugar. When everyone was done cooking, we gathered in the lobby again while the volunteers cleaned and set up the table for dinner. Then, it was time to eat! Dinner was served buffet style and the Kitchen House split our food for people who had different dietary restrictions. For example, some of the recipes used non-dairy alternatives as some people in the class were lactose intolerant and one person had a mushroom allergy so they got a small spinach gallette instead of the mushroom Gallette for everyone else. As we sat down to eat, we discussed the book more in depth. Everything tasted great and we had a wonderful time. We received all the recipes in an email after the class so we could make the foods at home. I will definitely be looking at other adult classes here.
