“the school is nice most of the teachers are very nice the principle on the other hand is horrible! i'am not pleased with the way she treats the students teachers or parents when my daughter transfered to this school i felt like i was no longer able to be involved like i would like to be and that upsets me very much now i have another daughter who will be attending kindergarten and all i can hope is that this year will be better than the last. 'some' of the staff and the principle need a major attitude ajustment. but the teachers are great!”

“William Orr is a school full of teachers who truly care about their students. My daughter has made great progression since her first day of instruction. The staff is friendly and the PTA is great. Most parents do a good job in getting involved to create great change, if you want to make a difference at William Orr then get involved, PTA meetings are monthly and all parents are welcomed to contribute. -Ed C.”

“My daughter is in kindergarten and we couldn't be more pleased about her progress. Her teacher is very caring and is doing an excellent job with his students. Unfortunately, there isn't enough parent participation. The PTA is very small and innefective. They don't do a very good job in attracting others. As a result, the PTA doesn't raise very much money and the students are robbed of extra enriching programs that other schools have. It seems that this school is so concerned with meeting the state standards that fun and enrichment has gone out of the window.”
