I have two special needs children that attend this school and the staff has truly gone above and beyond in helping accommodate them and support their learning environment.
Posted by a parent on 11/28/2023Orion is a complete nightmare. Our daughter has been bullied repeatedly. We've spoken to the principle, nothing was done. This school is by far the worst school that my child has attended. We are looking forward to moving away from Orion elementary & the unprofessional staff attached to it. My famil
Posted by a community member on 4/19/2017This is a terrible school. The principle should NOT even be a principle. She is extremely rude, as well as some of the staff. They don't care for the well being of your children at this facility. One of the staff members has harassed my child, continually, & the school does nothing about it. I'm tak
Posted by a parent on 4/17/2017We transferred with 3 months left in the school year and from day 1, we have had a positive experience. The class room size is around 20 kids and my child is learning more about music, gym, reading, writing, and math than at their previous school. The 3rd grade teacher is awesome!
Posted by a parent on 4/22/2016We use to love this school. It was a big happy family. The staff have always been wonderful. The new Principal has changed this school for the worse. The staff doesn't look happy anymore. I have witnessed her talking disrespectful to staff members. She puts them down. This lady has to go. She is rui

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe moved to the Airport Heights neighborhood with an open mind about the local neighborhood school. At first the school principal, teachers, and PTA seemed involved and caring. THere are a few caring teachers that are involved and making the best at teaching there. Then we experienced a horrible teacher that allowed students to bully kids in the classroom. This teacher's classroom management style was allowing other kids to bully kids that wer out of line, single kids out and turn the classroom on these kids. It was an horribe learning environment for our child. We reached out the teacher and school principal - neither was willing to help. I can see why parents are leaving this school for charter and choice school options in the district. We are glad we made the move to other schooling options. Now our child is thriving in school and loving it again. Be ware and be involoved if you do send your kids here. There are a teachers that allow and promote bullying at this school. The adminstrative staff will look the other way whiel it happens.Parent Review2y ago - Aurora Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWonderful! This school has been around 35 years and it shows! It is a well-rounded and fully immersed Montessori program. I'm impressed at how true they hold to the Montessori principles while maintaining state requirements. My child is happy at this school and is excited to attend each day and his teacher is supportive and compassionate!Parent Review7y ago - Fairview Elementary School
