William E. Orr Middle School 1562 East Katie Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89119

"This school sends truancy notices even if you have excuses. The school barley ever answers the phone. The attendance people received several notices of withdrawal from this school but keeps counting students truant. I know of two people this happened to and proof of it. The attendance office should give students an email to send letters of absenteeism and withdrawal so if they do not keep good records it doesn't mess up the students records so they will have proof. Lots of people I know are getting home schooled or entering Connections Academy because of errors like this that scare the students and parents from dealing with regular public school. Honest post from kid that is a Straight A student but been a victim of errors with the whole absenteeism system. Hopefully someone higher up can fix these issues."

"I went to this school for 6th grade and all of my teachers didn't do anything when something major happened! My only favorite teacher was my band teacher, but I forgot his name. And I remember getting into a fight with my best friend and, believe me when I tell you this, NO ONE HELPED, THE COPS WERE INVOLVED SO YOU KNOW FIGHTS HAPPENED OFTEN!! Overall, the school is a terrible school and I honestly don't care if this school changed, DON'T BRING YOUR CHILD HERE EVER!!"

"I went too school here from 2003-2004 and it was all fun while learning for me and my family. Mr. Damain was my favorite teacher he taught choir. I must say he is very talented, and left a positive impression on his students. I know will never forget him."

"I went to school here from 2006 to 2007 and let me say those were some of my best school years. I had some amazing teachers such as Mr. Damain for choir and Ms. Jackson for math. I won't lie and say I didn't have average or even bad teachers but for the most part my teachers were supportive and really cared about whether you learned your material. The Gear Up program here was THE BEST after school option such as ASL learning programs and library time. There was a reading incentive program that helped blossom my love of reading and even had a summer program that took us to Circus Circus at the end of the summer. I was devastated when we moved and I could no longer be an Orr Rocket. I'm not so sure how the school is now, but back when I went there the principal, teachers, and other facility were amazing and I couldn't be prouder to have gone here."

"Every one who says great school full of teachers who care are lying. Most teacher often mentioned to me how they don't care what I do because they are still getting payed. The teachers, principals, and deans curse all day and expect you not to.I'm currently in the 8th grade and I pretty much relearned every thing from 4th grade. The only teacher that taught me something new this year was Mr. Robinson•the math one•. The principal(s) do nothing about anything. They let people come back after they've got expelled. They even suspend students for ten days during testing. So they don't care to keep students in school. There's even an in-school behavior school and they put kids in there for being late to first period. Its clearly unauthorized because its one class room for every grade and the students that are in there are still on the attendance list so they get marked absent the whole time they are in there and the teachers don't even know."
