The school's performance in Science was on par with the district average. Chronic absenteeism was also an issue, with a rate of 17.8% in 2023-2024, exceeding the state average.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as over 54% of Orleans Elementary School students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
