Education System
Education
One of the key foundations for Orrville’s successful industrial
activities is in its exceptional educational system at all levels,
from preschools through advanced degree and adult education programs.
Each year, a significant number of Orrville’s students achieve
recognition for their scholastic accomplishments, including above-average
scores in SATs, ACTs, and Ohio Tests of Scholastic Achievement.
Through the combined efforts of parents, teachers, students, business
and community leaders, Orrville’s public schools continually
attain excellent levels of academic performance and achievement. In
the fall of 1991, the Heartland Education Community, Inc. was formed
to encourage the participation of the whole
community in the educational process. The highly successful program
involves volunteers who devote their time and resources to bettering
education, with a substantial focus on improving competency and literacy
and increasing parental involvement. Ultimately, the project’s
goal is to foster citizenship, life-long learning, and productive employment
in Orrville. The city received a road sign designating
Orrville as a BEST (Building Excellent Schools for
Today and the 21st Century) Community.
An enriched, expanded curriculum is available for students with exceptional
ability, and Orrville schools feature computer education experiences
from 1st through 12th grades. Full and part-time staff assist those
with special learning difficulties.
To complement the diverse range of advanced programming and early college
placement opportunities with a number of local colleges, the Wayne
County Schools Career Center in Smithville offers students 33 vocational
programs, from auto mechanics to welding and metal fabrication. In
addition, Orrville Public Library represents a priceless community
resource, which continues to grow as a member of the regional network
and as a member of CLEVNET, a system that gives patrons
access to more than a million titles from over two dozen Ohio libraries.
Just outside of Orrville, The
University of Akron-Wayne College, The
College of Wooster, and the OSU
Agricultural Rechnical Institute in
Wooster offer a wide selection of options for higher education, from
a two-year technical degree to baccalaureate and graduate degrees.
In all, 16 institutions of higher learning, covering the spectrum of
private and public colleges and universities as well as branch campuses,
are located within an hour’s drive of Orrville.
