Ortona Elementary School

we transferred from another school, and are so happy with the staff and teachers, GREAT SCHOOL. the principal is very involved.

Terrible years of my life it was so depressing

My 5 year old son transferred into Ortona in the middle of the year from a private school. He had so much anxiety about learning and already hated school. He was lonely and felt he was not a good student. Thankfully, we enrolled him in Ortona. We were immediately welcomed into the school community and were blessed to get Ms. Wood as his Kindergarten teacher. The principal, Mr. Adkins, is amazing and student centered. He cares about each child and the academic learning on campus. All the teachers have been so helpful and kind to our son, but Ms. Wood has especially bent over backwards to help unravel what he needed most. She has been so encouraging and loving to our son. She is constantly trying new ideas and strategies to help him learn and build his confidence. She spends her own money on treasures and fun new ways for the children to learn, and she takes time to touch base with parents every day. Orntona feels like a family, because the office staff and teachers look at each of their students as individuals. Now my son's anxiety is completely gone. He loves school and is proud of his daily personal and academic accomplishments. He now feels empowered to take risks and try new things. I am so grateful for this little school and the hard working and gifted teachers who are educating children there. If you are new to the area or looking for a school with teachers who care, office staff who love the kids, and a dedicated principal who cares about children and their learning, Ortona is an awesome school choice. Come see this little gem of a school on beachside.

Ortona is an amazing school. The teachers staff and principalare all friendly, very helpful, and they try to make students and parents feel welcomed. My daughter loves it there. I am always well informed with things going on with my daughters education.
