Summary

Orr William E Middle School is a public middle school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 854 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 5 out of 12 in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Orr William E Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Nevada middle schools, with a 0-star rating.

Orr William E Middle School significantly underperforms compared to the Clark County and Nevada averages on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 5.3% of students were proficient or better in SBAC Mathematics, compared to 33% for Clark County and 35.4% for Nevada. Similarly, only 16.6% of students were proficient or better in SBAC Reading, compared to 43.9% for Clark County and 45.6% for Nevada. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.6% to 39.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's student subgroups, such as Asian, African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students, all rank in the bottom 10-20% of their respective subgroups in Nevada middle schools.

While the nearby middle schools, such as Cortney Francis H Junior High School, Cashman James Middle School, and Woodbury C W Middle School, also perform below the state and district averages, they generally outperform Orr William E Middle School. This suggests that the challenges faced by Orr William E Middle School may be more systemic within the local area. In contrast, the Young Women's Leadership Academy of Las Vegas, a public charter school, significantly outperforms Orr William E Middle School and the surrounding district schools on academic measures, despite serving a similar high-poverty student population.
