I have no issue with any teachers we have encountered throughout the 2 years my daughter spent at ORA. However, there is an extreme lack of support from administrators. My daughter was physically harmed twice by the same student and there was no action whatsoever taken to separate the child and my daughter so that the instances would not continue to occur. Each time this child injured my daughter it was completely unprovoked. We made the decision to completely remove my daughter from ORA after my daughter was STRANGLED by the same student. She is only 7 years old. I escalated this incident to the Craven County Board of Education after I got no where with the principal. This school completely failed my daughter and failed to give her a safe learning environment. She wants and deserves to be at school, however, it is clearly not safe. She no longer gets to go to school for her safety, while the student who is attacking other children gets to stay. The lack of concern for safety is disturbing. -0/10.

Students are sweet and most teachers are hard working. However there’s very limited support for struggling students... they’re swept under the rug. There’s no concrete system in place to support kids and teachers. They’re left to fail or quit. I absolutely would not recommend this school.

The leadership and teachers are doing a great job hosting reading, match and science nights for parents and students. It allows the parents to see how much work is being done to prepare students to be successful. I've had 2 parent conferences at the request of the teacher to go over where my child is and what I can do to help her improve. It has been my experience that most parent conferences are done when there is a problem. That is not the case.

If i could rate this school a 0, then it would be a ZERO. I refuse to believe that elementary schools in this same county are rated 10/10. It's upsetting as a parent to know that my children are "Far Behind" other schools and they will start behind and fall even further behind. What the Hell is going on in this county and at this elementary school?

Grandchild started kindergarten this year and the teachers have been fantastic. School has kept us informed and I really like the principal. My grandson enjoys school
