Orrs Elementary consistently performs below the district and state averages on the Milestones Assessment, with only 14.6% of 3rd graders, 15.9% of 4th graders, and 29.6% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the county averages of 18.5%, 20.2%, and 29.4%, respectively. The school has been ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools for several years, placing it in the bottom 20% statewide. Additionally, Orrs has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.31% to 100% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby schools in the district, Orrs Elementary is one of the lowest-performing, with Beaverbrook Elementary and Futral Road Elementary significantly outperforming it in academic assessments. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Orrs, ranging from $8,427 to $9,248 per student, the academic outcomes do not reflect the additional resources being provided, raising questions about the effectiveness of how these resources are being utilized.
