School Overview

Orting Middle School sits in a small, tight-knit valley town tucked between the Puyallup River and the dramatic backdrop of Mount Rainier — a setting that gives the community a distinct, close-to-nature character that many families genuinely love. Scores here land around the middle of the pack statewide, with science showing the strongest footing, making it a decent fit for families who value a smaller-school atmosphere over a hyper-competitive academic environment. If you're drawn to rural Pierce County living, outdoor access, and a community where teachers tend to know kids by name, Orting has a lot of quiet appeal.
