I attended way back, and it was horrible, they had to have proctors every where to make sure fights weren't going to break out. There was bullying, and harassing from the older kids (which is to be expected. That's what the principal told my mom) Back then they didn't have after school programs. it was just bad all around!

I disagree with something a previous poster said, "It is a priviledge to be going to school." (No, it is your constitutional right!) But that's the same thing the Principal told me when I went to this school back in the day.

Maybe its improved through the years, but when I went there, corporal punishment was still allowed and some of the teachers were bullies!

Honestly, attending Orr was actually one of the greatest years of my whole school career. I met my lasting friend there and I would always recommend to bring your child here. I don't know exactly how it is now, but everyone got along back then. I love this school and I wouldn't mind taking a step back to re-live my pre-teen years!

terrrible. the adults dont punish any of the chldren for doign anything bad. they let the cheerleaders where very short skirts..even tho its against dress code. the 6th grade science teacher mr garza..doesnt know how to teach or contorl his students. this school needs some help..i would have given it a 0/5 if i could have.

This school is trashy rude and dirty! I am from Phoenix az where every child is respected this school is out of control. there are bullies. it's just awful! I would not recommend this to any body! DO NOT GO THERE!

The bullies need to stop, it's a priviledge to be going to school and every child has a right to go to school without fear. The students are out of control.
Some are good as we all know but those few who seem to be bulling the other students because their home life isn't all that good or somewhere in their lives they have their reasons. I believe all the students need to respect each other. I came from Kingman, Az. Where the students knew they had to control their behavior or not be able to go to school.
Children don't need fear they need to learn.
