The opening as it read in 2020

Golda Och Academy is a private Jewish day school that offers secular and religious education for Jewish children from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade at two campuses in West Orange in Essex County , New Jersey , United States.1 Until June 2011 the school was called Solomon Schechter Day School of Essex and Union .2 The school primarily serves families in Essex and Union counties, but attracts students from all over northern and central New Jersey and also New York. As of the 2015-16 school year, the school had an enrollment of 537 students (plus 14 in PreK) and 67.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 8.0:1.3 The school's student body was 98.5% White and 1.5% two or more races. Rabbi Joyce Raynor announced her retirement and her position was filled by Upper School Principal Adam Shapiro. Christine Stodolski was hired as Upper School principal and Carrie Siegel took over as the Lower School principal. "'I love the small, tight-knit feeling here'; GOA's new principal is not Jewish, but values its sense of community" , New Jersey Jewish News , May 20, 2015. She will take the helm of the West Orange high school as its principal beginning July 1. And just a few minutes earlier, sitting in the office of current principal Adam Shapiro (who will become head of school upon the retirement of Rabbi Dr. Joyce Raynor in July), she explained that one of the things that attracted her to the position is the community it offers."4
