GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The best about being at Orr is mostly the sports because we have very competitive sports teams and I like that and The worst part about being at Orr is the fights for me and I feel as if we need more security.

I would like to change everything , the school isn't bad it's the students and it , and I like it's all about the basketball players and no one else really . The sports are good they just pay the basketball team the most attention.
