"Well, all I have to say is thank goodness I'm done with this school and staff!!!!! I have never had a group of people who gave artificial concern about children. Communication is horrible... I actually emailed one of my child's teacher and asked why she didn't respond to my concerns in a prior email and her reply was " I didn't think a reply was necessary". I about blow a gasket. Tried to contact principal about my concerns and again no response.....I truly believe the Pre-AP staff is there to babysit.....I have nothing nice to say about this school and just hope and pray that Worley is better!!!!!!"

"Like many schools, I think Mary Orr is a mixed bag. The biggest problem I think is that the kids are 10 to 12 years old. This is a tough time in their lives -- puberty, cliques, real schoolwork. Overall the teachers do a fine job and the office staff is excellent. I have concerns about some of the methods -- the teacher intervention seems really harsh -- but I understand that they need to be firm but supportive. I think they offer a lot of great activities for kids that want to be involved and they appreciate parent involvement."

"Coming from Roberta Tipps to Mary Orr was a huge disppointment. The leadership and administration are sorely lacking at this school. Communications to parents is virtually non-existent. Poor use of the technology in communicating. Principal does not demonstrate strong leadership and does not use resources available to her. The principal's message posted on the website was blank for over half the year. Last minute notice inviting parents to attend meetings. Overall the principal and teachers do not reach out to parents to say 'you are welcome here'. Poorly organized functions. Awards program included 'day brightner' awards given to students who came to school happy and brightened the teachers day. Other subjective awards with no measurable criteria. Math teacher left mid-year and there was no communication to parents of changes. Students do not attend core courses, math and science everyday. Comments by teachers regarding individual character of students inappropriate. Totally unsat!!"

"My daughter attended Mary Orr for 6th grade only because we moved. She loved her teachers, and they all made us feel very welcome. Students were also welcoming and friendly to her, and she also loved the excellent choir program. She had a great year in every way. I loved being able to check her grades and other information online, and whenever I emailed her teachers with a question, I got a quick response."
