Oriole Park Elementary consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 16.9% of 3rd graders and 18% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 26.2% of 3rd graders and 22% of 4th graders proficient in Math. The school also faces high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 37.5% over the past few years. Additionally, 85.21% of Oriole Park students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly disadvantaged population.

My son attended this school for one day. It was such a horrific experience that I transferred him to another district. My son has some special needs. I made sure to notify the school and speak to both his teacher and principle prior to his first day to confirm that the school could meet his needs. He has medical problems, which have delayed speech and potty training, and he has food allergies. When I picked up my son, he was soaked in his own urine- through both his pull-up and pants, and he was a hysterical mess. I have never seen him so upset. I made some calls. After dozens of different stories from the principal, various staff members, and superintendent, I finally got my hands on a written report, which didn't match anything I had been told. Apparently, they refused to let my son out of his seat (to go to the bathroom), and at some point, he jumped up and yelled and grabbed at his pants (a small child cannot hold their bladder all day), at which point he was removed from the classroom for the rest of the day! Then an adult forced him to take off his pants and sit on the toilet, and they never changed him! I had been told to send extra pull-ups and pants, and that it wouldn't be a problem, accidents happen...Well, they never bothered to change him, even though the teacher (or another staff member) got into his book bag and removed his school supplies. Fortunately I checked his bag when he got home - they had intentionally put a free lunch in it, which contained several items that would have made my son very sick. Even if my child didn't have allergies, I wouldn't want them giving him sugary junk food all day. The "healthy" free meals and snacks include items like Pop Tarts and Chocolate Milk. The school also demanded a doctor's note to refuse these cavity inducing non-nutritional food products, even though I sent my son with plenty of snacks, since they wanted to feed him three times (during a half day).
