Should NOT be allowed to administer the ACT test. Fire alarm went off on 9/6/2025 and proctor did not know how to turn off alarm and they did not reset the time lost during the alarm or having to exit building. Unprofessional and inappropriate. We expect a refund from the school for the aaCT fee and an apology.

Im currently in 7th grade, the teachers don't care about anyone, expect their fav. They teach really weak, we can do the problem for two weeks. The busses are full off fights, eating, cussing, everything you say. I mean, I am a part of cussing and everything. But still the school don't care. The P.E, one person messed up? Whole class is staying inside because someone talked. You can talk whole class on. But still the teacher don't care, bullied? don't care. So please, try to educate students, and make them feel safe. Not to take their phones.

I am shocked to see that Orourke has a low score. I went there when it opened many years ago and my son is in his last year there and has been there since 4k. The staff and teachers are incredible. They have a new principal who seems to be doing a good job so far. My son is part of the "Covid class" so I feel that the school excelled when having to deal with all of that. We are sad that this is our last year there and are grateful for all the love and support we have received from Orourke Elementary.
