Enrolments currently stand at 125 students from Kindergarten to Year 7. There are five classes which are nearly all multi-aged grouped. Orange Grove's reputation for inclusivity, quality educational programmes, unique environment and smallness attracts students from a variety of areas.

In 2006, a Deputy Principal has been appointed. There are presently six non-teaching staff members consisting of Registrar, Educational Assistants, Library Officer, Cleaner and Gardener. The staff are very professional and have a strong sense of pastoral care, engage in all educational initiatives, work closely with each other and parents aiming to provide programmes which meet individual needs and produce results that are very positive. The sense of community that exists between parents, staff and students is an integral part of Orange Grove and a source of pride for all. A strong community support has been a feature of this school and they have worked actively towards providing additional resources for the students. The vision for the school is guided by the school motto, 'Friendship and Achievement'. | ||||

| Small numbers Most staff are excellent | Principal is useless, unable to resolve issues or just tells you what she thinks you want to hear. Has her head in the sand about what is actually going on. | You may be surprised that such a small school can have so much chaos amongst the kids, this school needs to review it's discipline procedures. The upper school teachers are excellent. | ||
