Summary

Orrs Elementary School in Griffin, GA, serves 467 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Griffin-Spalding County school district. The school has been on a clear upward trajectory, improving its statewide ranking for three consecutive years and reaching its best position in a decade—the 34th percentile with a 2-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year.

Orrs stands out most in upper-grade math and science. In 5th grade science, 41.1% of students scored proficient—more than 14 points above the district average and higher than nearby schools like Crescent Road Elementary School (38.6%) and Jackson Road Elementary School (36%). In 4th and 5th grade math, Orrs also outperforms the district average and several neighboring schools, including Cowan Road Elementary School and Atkinson Elementary School. The school also shows notable strength with its Hispanic and African American students, ranking in the 48th and 41st percentiles statewide for those groups—both above the school's overall standing.

While the current data release does not include English Language Arts scores (those arrive in December), historical results show early-grade literacy is an area of focus. The school has also made meaningful progress on attendance: chronic absenteeism dropped from 30.2% to 23.0% over the past few years, now below the district average. With a favorable 12:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $15,496, Orrs appears to be investing in the right areas. Families considering this school will find a school that is steadily climbing, with particular strengths in upper-grade math and science, and a clear commitment to improvement.
