We value the unique skills and <br /> gifts the students and staff bring to Orange County Schools. We remain committed to continuous <br /> improvement and building on the successes we experience each school year. <br /> Goal I of Orange County Schools Strategic Plan states, "Challenge and engage every learner to <br /> achieve at his/her full potential." In upholding rigorous standards through clear learning targets <br /> that all learners will master in every grade level and subject, the District has 10 schools that <br /> exceeded or met growth. <br /> 2017/2018 Exceeds Mets <br /> Growth Growth <br /> Orange County Schools 42% 33% <br /> North Carolina aggregate 27% 46% <br /> The district continues to outpace the State in the percentage of Students College and Career ready <br /> as well as grade level proficient. <br /> % College/Career % Grade Level <br /> Ready Proficient <br /> Orange County Schools 52.7 62.1 <br /> North Carolina aggregate 49.2 58.8 <br /> Through the strategy of providing equitable pathways to expand learning opportunities for all <br /> students, a Dual Language program has successfully launched at New Hope Elementary School. <br /> This program offers students a two way dual immersion for English and Spanish through a 50/50 <br /> model approach with instruction occurring in English one day and Spanish one day. <br /> The multi-tiered support system (MTSS) implemented within OCS continues to focus and address <br /> concerns surrounding student performance. In an effort to support the learning experience of <br /> every OCS student population, a Universal Breakfast Program continues to be delivered at every <br /> Elementary School. Students have the option of a free hot breakfast or grab and go option every <br /> school day. Additionally, a free summer feeding program is offered to ensure students have <br /> access to meals when school is not in session. Last summer, OCS served over 5,700 breakfasts and <br /> 8,400 lunches as part of this program. <br />
