Summary

Orr William E Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Las Vegas, Nevada, enrolling 919 students as part of the Clark County School District. Although Clark County is ranked 5 of 12 districts in Nevada (58th percentile, 4 stars), Orr itself ranked 148 of 148 middle schools statewide in 2025–2026, with 0th percentile and 0 stars. It reports 100% free/reduced lunch, spends $13,272 per student (2023–2024), and had a student-teacher ratio of 27 in 2024–2025. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates are 6.5% in math, 15.8% in reading, and 7.3% in science, and chronic absenteeism is 41.9%, above the district (27.0%) and state (25.5%).

Compared with nearby middle schools that also report 100% free/reduced lunch, Orr has the lowest proficiency in every tested subject. Hyde Park Middle School reaches 46.3% math, 53.0% reading, and 45.6% science; Cashman James Middle School has 23.7% math and 31.6% reading; Woodbury C W Middle School has 11.4% math; and Mack Jerome Middle School has 11.0% math. Cannon Helen C Junior High School, the next-lowest nearby school in math, still has 10.4%. Fremont John C Professional Dev Middle School and Knudson K O Academy of the Arts have much lower chronic absenteeism (14.5% and 14.3%) and higher proficiency. Orr’s 41.9% chronic absenteeism is the highest among these nearby schools, which range from 14.3% to 36.9%.

The data show that poverty and spending alone do not explain Orr’s outcomes: Orr spends about the same as Hyde Park ($13,272 vs. $13,162) and more than Woodbury and Mack, yet all three outperform Orr academically. Orr’s student-teacher ratio of 27 is higher than every same-district nearby school and rose from 22.6 in 2022–2023 to 27.0 in 2024–2025. Math and science are especially weak, with 8th-grade math under 5% and 8th-grade science at 7.3%, versus 31.0% district and 33.4% state. Reading declined from 22.5% in 2022–2023 to 15.8% in 2025–2026, and science fell from 11.6% to 7.3%. Overall, Orr faces compounding challenges that suggest a need for comprehensive intervention around attendance, class size/staffing, math and science instruction, and student support.
